The basic idea is as follows:
1. The WebCompat team triages and diagnoses site compat bugs (generally reported by our users to webcompat.com).
2. When they discover core interop bugs (as opposed to site bugs), they file a bug on Bugzilla, or identify an existing bug.
3. The WebCompat Priority flag is set to "?" to nominate it for triage. Historically this has been done by Mike Taylor, with other Engineering Managers and Product Managers.
4. The "?" bugs are triaged and given one of N values:
* P1: This bug breaks either a lot of sites, or a top site. It should be fixed first.
* P2: This bug breaks either a lot of sites, or a top site. It should be fixed next.
* P3: This bugs breaks some sites, and should eventually get next. These bugs probably end up as P2s and P1s at some point.
* revisit: This bug breaks a site, but it's either very long-tail or an edge case. Come back in case we discover this breaks more sites to get a higher priority.
* -: Ideally this is never set because it seems rude. Clearing the flag for non-priorities seems like a better outcome.
* ---: This clears the flag. Perhaps this is a performance or a UI issue, or something else entirely. Not really an interop bug.
5. Somebody works with Engineering Managers to ensure these bugs are prioritized and fixed.
6. Great success, promotions for everyone. 👑
