+A lot of work has been done inside of Perfherder to make filing a bug easier, As each bug has unique attributes it is hard to  handle this fully programattic, but we can do our best.  In fact, there is a 'File bug' clickable link which is underneath each Alert Summary section in Perfherder Alerts.  Clicking it will bring you to bugzilla with as many fields filled in as possible.

+Here are some things to check/verify when filing a bug:
-* Product/Component - this should be the same as the bug which is the root cause, if >1 bug, file in "[[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Testing&component=Talos Testing :: Talos]]"
+* Product/Component - this should be the same as the bug which is the root cause, if >1 bug, file in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Testing&component=Talos Talos]
-* Dependent/Block bugs - For a new bug, add the [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos/Sheriffing#Tracking_bugs tracking bug]] and root cause bug(s) as blocking this bug
+* Dependent/Block bugs - For a new bug, add the [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos/Sheriffing#Tracking_bugs tracking bug]] (for the current version) and root cause bug(s) as blocking this bug
-* CC list - cc :jmaher, :avih, patch author(s) and reviewer(s), and owner of the tests as documented on the [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos/Tests talos tests wiki]]
+* CC list - cc :jmaher, :avih, :wlach, :avih, patch author(s) and reviewer(s), and owner of the tests as documented on the [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos/Tests talos tests wiki]]
-* Summary of bug should follow this pattern (should be suggested correctly):
+* Summary of bug should have a check to make sure the revision is accurate
-  %xx <platform> <test> regression on <branch> (v.<xx>) Date, from push <revision>
+* The description is auto suggested as well, please verify the revision here
-* The description is auto suggested as well, this should be good, but do make sure it makes sense

+Once a bug is filed it is a good idea to do a few things in another comment:
+) provide a link to compare view to show you have done retriggers and believe this is valid
+) needinfo the patch author (if many patch authors, needinfo :jmaher)
+) mention how confident you are in the regression (more confidence if you have a lot of retriggers and there is only one patch, less confident if you are waiting on backfilling data, retriggers, try runs, etc.)
