JS Bug Triage Tags

The JavaScript team is using whiteboard tags to record triage and next-action information for bugs. The system is new and the tags are evolving. The current set is:

[js:pX:fxY] A bug of priority X, targeted for fixing during the Firefox Y nightly cycle. The priorities:

• p1 = "must do"
  • examples: serious user-facing defects, sec-critical, sec-high
  • will generally be targeted for fixing on the current or next nightly cycle
  • expected to be about 20-30 bugs per cycle
    • need to follow up to make sure we're not getting too perfectionistic
