Bugmasters/Projects/Bugzilla Clean Up

The Bugzilla cleanup project gets old components out of bugzilla and into graveyard. To get rid of a component, use the following checklist.

• Get confirmation from leads that the component will no longer be developed as part of the Mozilla project
• Find out if the project will continue in another venue
  • GitHub? Will it be a repository in the Mozilla project there, or a new team?
• Decide how will unresolved bugs be handled?
  • Move to other components
  • Copy to GitHub or other bug tracker
  • Close as incomplete
    • Is there a link to any communication about disposition of component (blog post) or new repository
• For Firefox-related components, send [Intent To Close Component] email to dev-planning
  • Explain why component is being closed
  • Say what is being done to open bugs in component
  • Timebox discussion
• Create ticket for moving component to graveyard (under bugzilla.mozilla.org::administration component)
• Resolve or move open bugs
• Let #bteam know you're done with cleanup and they can move the component to graveyard
