We recently landed support for reminders in Bugzilla via whiteboard tags
and the autonag bot.  If you add a whiteboard tag of the form
[reminder-TYPE YYYY-MM-DD] (e.g., [reminder-test 2022-07-13]), then on that
date the tag will be removed and the bug assignee will get a needinfo
referencing the comment where the tag was added.

The primary purpose we built this for was for reminding people to land
sec-approved tests at a later date, which is what the reminder-test tag is
for. You can also set reminder-pref to remind you to flip a pref or
consider removing it at a future date. Finally reminder-disclosure can be
used to remind us of a pending vulnerability disclosure (for instance at a
conference some date in the future).

If you have another use case, you can submit a pull request to add it here
<https://github.com/mozilla/relman-auto-nag/blob/master/auto_nag/scripts/reminder.py#L14>.
Thanks a ton to Marco and Suhaib for their help in developing/deploying
this.

Thanks,
Tom

Nibbles: If the bot doesn’t run on the exact date, it will do it when it
next runs.  If there is no bug assignee, the triage owner gets a NI. Only
users with ‘editbugs’ or ‘canconfirm’ can set reminders.
