We had too many Area- labels. The issue tracker only displays a
maximum of 11 labels matching a prefix. Even 11 labels often scroll
out of view when you are looking for an autocomplete match.
I reduced the number of Area- labels to make it easier to categorize
issues and divide them up for triage. I added some more predefined
labels so that we don't lose finer classification and to make sure
there are still easy searches. For example, I got rid of Area-Plugins,
but added a Plugins predefined label, so a search for
label:area-plugins would now be label:plugins.
The current Area- labels (components, if you will):
Area-BrowserUI
= Browser features and chrome
Area-BrowserBackend
= Browser infrastructure (network, muti-proc, IPC, etc)
Area-Compat
= Site compatibility and layout issues
Area-DevTools
= Development infrastructure (tools, tests, review, dashboards)
Area-Installer
= Install, uninstall, download
Area-Misc
= Not classified
Area-WebKit
= Chromium-WebKit port and glue issues
Area- labels that I replaced (+ NewLabel, if added):
Area-AppCompat --> Area-BrowserBackend + AppCompat
Area-Build --> Area-DevTools + Build
Area-I18N --> Area-<any> + I18N **
Area-Plugins --> Area-WebKit + Plugins
Area-WebKit-V8 --> Area-WebKit + JavaScript
Area-Docs --> Area-Misc + Docs
Area-Tests --> Area-DevTools or Area-WebKit + Tests
Area-Tools --> Area-DevTools
Area-Unknown --> Area-Misc
**I just re-labeled all I18N bugs as BrowserUI. Individual bugs will
have to be reclassified as BrowserBackend or WebKit as needed. I
didn't want to look at each issue to figure it out.
I think the 7 labels correspond to the most-used components in the
internal bug tracker. There's some room to add more if needed.
I updated all the new issue templates to categorize most new bugs as
Area-Misc by default. Project members: please try to select a more
precise area when you file new issues.
Thanks,
Mark
