ReleaseEngineering/How To/Close or Open the Tree

Warn the sheriff (the main Tinderbox page lists who it currently is, as does TBPL in the "Tree Info" dropdown)
Warn #developers IRC channel
for each tree you want to close (full list of interesting trees is under "More" on TBPL):
- go to http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/admintree.cgi?tree=$treename (see quick links below), and
  - find the "Status message" edit box - the second one
  - READ the comments in the edit box, if any
  - Edit the status text in the <span...>
  - NOTE Do not make text up - TBPL and other tools are expecting the text given in the comment only - you will break them if you deviate.
Change Topic in #developers
Flush and reload Tinderbox and TBPL to confirm
