• Note the impending bmo reorg (date TBD), and concurrent, proposed mailnews cleanup. Feedback needed. bugmail warning
• The above activities affect the mailnews subset of bugs from previously proposed "patch day", which intends to review and clean up "old patches". The proposed mailnews cleanup suggests triaging/touching this subset now, before the reorg+cleanhip hits.
  • What should be done with these bugs?
    • close if no longer valid, otherwise comment as to the state of the bug and the patch(s), is it wanted-TB3? or worthy of blocking-TB3, ...
    • change to default QA if needed
    • assign bug to yourself, someone else with their permission, or nobody
  • Affected bugs (not all are old and need attention, but most do):
    • 76 bugs, qa or assignee contains formerly-netscape
    • 30 bugs, neither qa or assignee contains formerly-netscape
