Triage leads
 
= What Do You Triage =
 
All open, confirmed bugs in a component without a priority set or pending needinfo flage since 1 July 2016.
 
Softvision and volunteers will work on unconfirmed bugs, and set priority to '--' when they land in NEW.
 
= How Do You Triage =
 
Find bugs un-triaged bugs in your component.  
 
We're building a web tool to help you do this.
 
For each bug decide priority:
 
;P1: Fix in the current release or iteration
;P2: Fix in the next release or iteration
;P3: Backlog
;P5: Will not fix, but will accept a patch
 
== How Do I Handle Edge Cases ==
 
=== I Don't Have Enough Information ===
 
Needinfo someone who can answer your question and finish triaging when they reply.
 
=== This doesn't fit into a P1, P2, P3 framework ===
 
Mark it as a P3. If it's a tracking bug, make sure it's marked as [meta].
 
=== I don't think we should work on it at any time ===
 
If you'll accept a patch, mark it as P5, otherwise, close it as WONTFIX
 
== Follow Ups ==
 
=== Watch open needinfos ===
 
Don't let open needinfos linger for more than two weeks. Close minor bugs with unresponded needinfos. Chase down other needinfo requestees.  
 
=== End of Iteration ===
 
# P2s become P1s after review
# Hoist any P3s to P2's or P1
