It's the weekly report on the state of triage in Firefox-related components.
Marking Bugs for the Firefox 57 Release The bug that will overshadow all the hard work we put into the Firefox 57 release has probably already been filed. We need to find it and fix it. If you think a bug might affect users in the 57 release, please set the correct Firefox versions affected in the bug, and then set the tracking-request flag to request tracking of bug by release management team <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugmasters/Marking_bugs_for_the_Firefox_57_release>. Poll Result It’s not a large sample, but by an 8-1-1 margin, you said you’d like a logged-in BMO home page like: https://fitzgen.github.io/bugzilla-todos/. Now, the catch. We don’t have staff to work on this, but I’ve filed a bug, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1397063 to do this work. If you’d like undying gratitude, and some WONTFIX swag, grab this bug. Hotspots The components with the most untriaged bugs remain the JavaScript Engine and Build Config. Rank Component Last Week This Week 1 Core: JavaScript Engine 477 472 2 Core: Build Config 459 455 3 Firefox for Android: General 408 415 4 Firefox: General 254 258 5 Core: General 241 235 6 Core: JavaScript: GC 180 175 7 Core: XPCOM 171 172 8 Core: Networking 159 167 All Components 8,822 8,962 Please make sure you’ve made it clear what, if anything will happen with these bugs. Not sure how to triage? Read https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugmasters/Process/Triage. We know the JS numbers are artificially-high, and working on a solution for cleaning that up.

Bulk close them? Make them into P3s? Bugs without decisions add noise to our system, cause despair in those trying to triage bugs, and leaves the community wondering if we listen to them. Methods and Definitions In this report I talk about bugs in Core, Firefox, Firefox for Android, Firefox for IOs, and Toolkit which are unresolved, not filed from treeherder using the intermittent-bug-filer account*, and have no pending needinfos. By triaged, I mean a bug has been marked as P1 (work on now), P2 (work on next), P3 (backlog), or P5 (will not work on but will accept a patch). https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugmasters#Triage_Process A triage decision is not the same as a release decision (status and tracking flags.) https://mozilla.github.io/triage-report/#report Untriaged Bugs in Current Cycle Bugs filed since the start of the Firefox 57 release cycle (August 2nd, 2017) which do not have a triage decision. https://mzl.la/2wzJxLP Recommendation: review bugs you are responsible for ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=triage_owners.html) and make triage decision, or RESOLVE. Untriaged Bugs in Current Cycle Affecting Next Release Bugs marked status_firefox56 = affected and untriaged. https://mzl.la/2wzjHaH Enhancements in Release Cycle Bugs filed in the release cycle which are enhancement requests, severity = enhancement, and untriaged. https://mzl.la/2wzCBy8 Recommendation: product managers should review and mark as P3, P5, or RESOLVE as WONTFIX. High Priority Bugs without Owners Bugs with a priority of P1, which do not have an assignee, have not been modified in the past two weeks, and do not have pending needinfos. https://mzl.la/2sJxPbK Recommendation: review priorities and assign bugs, re-prioritize to P2, P3, P5, or RESOLVE. Inactive High Priority Bugs There 159 bugs with a priority of P1, which have an assignee, but have not been modified in the past two weeks. https://mzl.la/2u2poMJ Recommendation: review assignments, determine if the priority should be changed to P2, P3, P5 or RESOLVE. Stale Bugs Bugs in need of review by triage owners. Updated weekly. https://mzl.la/2wNyONP * New intermittents are filed as P5s, and we are still cleaning up bugs after this change, See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1381587 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1381587>, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1381960, and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1383923 If you have questions or enhancements you want to see in this report, please reply to me here, on IRC, or Slack and thank you for reading. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
