My only strong opinions are:
1. Using bugzilla as the one source of truth for bugs. Even b2g had
to do it.
2. ELM is the place where the code ends up for nightly builds. How
it gets there, I don't care. But we have a test infra that works
with the hg repos and we need it to run.
A +1 to both of these, but particularly the first - it has been our
experience over and over that when we move away from bugzilla as the
source of truth, it bites us in numerous and unpleasant ways. At this
point, it's the nearest thing you'll encounter to a project-wide
edict, but it's absolute law when it comes to work that impacts
Firefox desktop, Android, or OS.
I'm hearing the same thing from everyone.
decision:
1. As far as the client engineering team - "ELM is the place where
code ends up" - it doesn't matter how it gets there.
2. Anything that has cross-team implications (like say, gavin needs to
review a patch from lloyd), goes in bugzilla.
Everything has cross-team implications. If the sync team is twiddling
away on 3 more internal bugs and release team is tracking that, they are
doing that via bugzilla. If you would like to work on a product at
Mozilla, please do it with bugzilla. Nobody is a big fan of bugzilla,
but its what as a project we are setup to use. Just stick to it and lets
move on and not waste energy on reinventing this part of the software
engineering process.

good?

(P.S. My desire was to craft out a short set of milestones with
minutiae, like "add a preference for disabling new sync", or
"determine where implementation will land in the client" or "implement
container for authentication" - I'll just do this in a etherpad, that
works for me.)
