== Thunderbird Drivers ==
Thunderbird-driving is intended to be a low-overhead process to make sure that as Thunderbird converges on releases that have the important bugs fixed and high-impact features implemented. We may or may not achieve this initially; if you have suggestions about how we can do better, please let us know.
Most relevant discussion will happen publicly, typically in mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird and/or mozilla.dev.planning. People who have concerns that affect driving that they're not comfortable discussing publicly should email them to [mailto:thunderbird-drivers@mozilla.org thunderbird-drivers@mozilla.org].
; Wanted: a restricted set of things that thunderbird-drivers think would be nice to have, but that we would be willing to ship without. Note that wanted- doesn't mean that we wouldn't accept a patch; it means that we're not actively devoting any energy in trying to get this into Thunderbird 3.
Note that as new information appears and time passes, the bugs that are considered blocking+ and wanted+ are likely to change somewhat.
=== How to use flags ===
As part of keeping this a low-touch process, we'd like individual drivers to feel empowered to go through nominations on their own and use their best judgment to make calls. As explained above, people can renominate if they disagree.
=== Fundamental Fact: Scarcity ===
There are orders of magnitude more bugs fixes & features than can possibly be shipped in any given release. A particular bug not making the cut for this next release doesn't necessarily mean it's not important, but it _does_ mean that thunderbird-drivers feels that there other are bugs that are even more important.
