can be managed. It is inspired by similar RFC processes among other open source projects, but
is also unique to Bugzilla.
 
# A bug is filed on bugzilla.mozilla.org, in the Bugzilla product (and appropriate component) describing a single feature using the User Story field.
# Interested parties comment on the bug. Comments and needinfo? should be used to raise concerns,  ask for clarification or provide alternate ways of achieving the desired outcome.
# The reporter should update the User Story as they deem appropriate.
# Offtopic comments are tagged as such, this includes "me too!" posts and the like
# After a suitable period (a week or two) the approval flag should be set to ?, at which time a Bugzilla approver will decide if this is a feature that would be accepted, if implemented per the description in the user story field. The approval flag is set to either + or -.
# The approver can set a- and leave the bug open, which means that the requirements/description need more work, or can set a- and close the bug as WONTFIX. RESOLVED WONTFIX is an indication that the project refuses the feature and will not accept it.
# If the approver sets a+, the bug stays open until the feature is implemented, and then it can be resolved as FIXED.
 
dkl comments:
# Set a rfc keyword on the bug for easy searching when it is filed or afterwards during a bug triage.
## maybe just put [RFC] in the summary? thoughts?
# We should have a rfc-approval flag separate from the old approval flag currently used for checkins.
# question: Should a separate bug be filed for the actual work or sufficient to just continue using the rfc bug?
 
dylan replies:
# Okay, [RFC] instead of keyword sounds reasonable. The keyword can be removed.
# agree on rfc-approval, I will add that the bugzilla product
# as for separate bugs -- I think we can leave that optional, a recommendation but not required?
