7.30 PST update:
Work is largely complete (with two exceptions, and no force pushes
required) and we are currently re-enabling automation.

We have left gecko-projects and integration/gecko-dev for now and will pick
these up in the morning.

Thank you for your patience while the team worked through this outage. We
will have a postmortem next week and post a link to the writeup here.

Best,

Laura
