Mobile team (Fennec, iOS) essentially don't use Bugzilla's priority field. Mobile team uses tracking-fennec flags to track releases; we assign individuals to track tickets; and we switch the status to ASSIGNED to mean "work is happening".

Priority-based triage

Some teams us the priority field to sort bugs.

  • P1 - Fix immediately
  • P2 - Needs to be fixed, but not urgent
  • P3 - Would like to fix, but waiting for resources (optional)
  • P4 - Not used or the same as P5.
  • P5 - A real issue, but no intent to fix. (patches usually welcome)

Bugs without the priority field set are untriaged.

The following teams use this workflow:

  • Media Playback
  • Awesome Search Team
