Every 6 weeks we do an [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos/Sheriffin/Tree_FAQ#What_is_an_uplift uplift].  These typically result in [https://elvis314.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/tracking-firefox-performance-as-we-uplift-the-volume-of-alerts-we-get/ dozens of alerts] for each uplift.

The job here is to triage alerts as we usually do, except in this case we have a much larger volume of alerts.  One thing here is we have alerts from the upstream branch.  Take for example when we uplift Mozilla-Central to Mozilla-Aurora.  We have a tracking bug for each release, and there is a list of bugs (keep in mind some are resolved as wontfix).  In a perfect world (half the time) we can match up the alerts that are showing up on Mozilla-Aurora with the bugs that have already been filed.  The job here is to verify and add bugs to keep track of what is there.
