* Once the patch is ready set the approval flag appropriately depending on which branches are affected
2) Members of Release Management go through all the bugs nominated for tracking & if in agreement that this bug needs to be investigated in that release we will go ahead and set '''tracking-firefoxN : +''' . Once we track a bug for a particular release we will make sure to follow-up on the progress or help with any road blockers till you have a patch nominated for approval
'''Note :''' Bugs denied for tracking-firefoxN are still important .It merely means based on the information we have now,we do not feel the bug would prevent us from shipping a release. If new information comes to light, you need help getting more data before you can make the case for us to track, or you disagree with our assessment feel free to renominate again with additional justification

=== Nag Emails ===
* To ensure that these tracking Bugs get the needed attention and keeping in mind the deadlines in case you forget Release Management sends you friendly nag emails for these blocker email's to make sure these get the needed priority and attention as they are are considered potential blockers for release
* If you are working on a tracked bug you may have seen emails with Subject similar to : '''''RelMan Attention Needed: Monday May 20 -- Daily Release Tracking Alert''''' for bugs that are actively not being worked on or if any of the bugs may have a '''needsinfo''' on you and is blocking progress
* This has also been very helpful to avoid any communication gap between Release drivers and developers and help us be on the same page and setting the right expectation about a tracked bugs progress and resolution

=== Nag Emails ===
* To ensure that these tracking Bugs get the needed attention and keeping in mind the deadlines in case you forget Release Management sends you friendly nag emails for these blocker email's to make sure these get the needed priority and attention as they are are considered potential blockers for release
* If you are working on a tracked bug you may have seen emails with Subject similar to : '''''RelMan Attention Needed: Monday May 20 -- Daily Release Tracking Alert''''' for bugs that are actively not being worked on or if any of the bugs may have a '''needsinfo''' on you and is blocking progress
* This has also been very helpful to avoid any communication gap between Release drivers and developers and help us be on the same page and setting the right expectation about a tracked bugs progress and resolution
