As our QA team and community grows, it is important we keep track of who is working on what and to allow everyone to find specific areas and features that interest them. One of the best ways to do that is through Bugzilla. If everyone "watches" several components, we can keep up with incoming issues and triage Bugzilla bugs more efficiently...as well as give ourselves a chance to learn more about the components that interest us the most.

To watch a component go to Bugzilla preferences, enter the QA addresses for the components you care about at Add users to my watch list, then click submit.
