This page deprecated, please see ReleaseEngineering:Buildduty

Each week there is one person from the Release Engineering team dedicated to helping out developers with releng-related issues. This person will be available during his or her regular work hours for the whole week. This is similar to the sheriff role that rotates through the developer community. To avoid confusion, the releng sheriff position is informally known as "buildduty." When nobody is on buildduty (off hours and weekends), consult #build with any issues - in most cases someone is available.
