Thunderbird Rules affect these directories & areas in comm-central:

• Build Config (e.g. configure.in, build/, config/)
• directory/
• editor/
• mailnews/
• mail/
• other-licenses/*/thunderbird/

Current Rules

• Thunderbird is code frozen in preparation for the 3.0 release candidates.
• Checkins are allowed only if:
  • Strings in mail/locales and editor/ui are not affected.
  • The patch has approval-thunderbird3.0+ granted by Standard8 or the patch is on a bug marked as blocking-thunderbird3.0+

Note: wanted-thunderbird3.0+ does not approve a patch for check in.

At this time, patches on non-blockers are unlikely to be approved.

Patches that are looking for approval should land on trunk before, or at the same time of requesting approval. When requesting approval, please state the (stability) risk this patch poses and the reason we need to take it for the 3.0 release.

Patches that are tidy up only or high risk will most likely be rejected.

Please ask on #maildev if you have questions.
