  • We triaged/closed several hundred bugs, thanks to everyone who helped. If you want to continue I've made a query AMONeedsTriage. A bug is considered triaged if it has a severity, priority, and milestone.

Developer Relations

  • The queues are looking real good, under 50% of how they were 2 months ago. Blog post on this.
  • Massive bug triage. There are several old bugs assigned to Rey that still need to be reassigned and hopefully resolved.
  • Last cases of Gmail in German bug need to be resolved, and a new audit needs to be done for all add-ons with trusted status. Hooray for lists.
