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 un-triaged bugs in your component.

There's a tool to help you find bugs https://emceeaich.github.io/triage-center/ and the source is at https://github.com/emceeaich/triage-center/.

For each bug decide priority (you can override 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

If you don't have a reproduction or confirmation, or have questions needinfo someone who can answer your question and finish triaging the bug when they reply.

This doesn't fit into a P1, P2, P3, or P5 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. The tool will help you find these (the query is imperfect.)

End of Iteration

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