Bug Triage/Process/Triage

Who Triages

See list of triage leads.

What Do You Triage

All open, confirmed bugs in a component without a pending needinfo flag since 1 July 2016.

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 (you can ignore what's already been set, as a triage lead, you are the decider.)

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, or P5framework

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

1. P2s become P1s after review
2. Hoist any P3s to P2's or P1
