I understand that many testers are not coders, but having at least one or two coders on each testing team with the non-coder testers would make the teams self sufficient and be able to fix bugs more rapidly.

Each team may have mentees associated with it. The teams would then help and guide their mentees in testing and coding, and these mentees will help with the work load that the regular testers have. The goal here is to guide the mentees to be regular developers and either stay in testing or move on to other parts of the project and have.
I'm a little confused with the idea of the testing teams fixing bugs.
Testers aren't usually coders. It's great if they are as they can fix the bugs they find, but in general testing positions are filled by people who want to help the project, but aren't programmers.
If a tester is a programmer too, I think you'll find that do a lot more programming than testing, as shown by our tree instability at the moment ;)
Yeah. I don't code, but I like to help out testing (and will start again once I fixed my partition layout...). If I could code, that's what I would be doing; as it is, though, I cannot fix these bugs.
