Is there a mechanism in place to detect when disabled intermittent tests have been fixed?

eg, every so often you could rerun disabled tests individually a bunch of times. Or if you can distinguish which tests are failing, run them all a bunch of times and pick apart the wreckage to see which ones are now consistently passing. I'm not suggesting those, just using them as example solutions to illustrate what I mean.

I presume that when a test is disabled a bug is filed and triaged within the responsible team as any regular bug. Only that way we don't forget and push on fixing it and returning back to the wheel.

Are there also some data or stats how often tests having a strong orange factor catch actual regressions? I.e. fail a different way than the filed "intermittent" one and uncover a real bug leading to a patch back out or filing of a regular functionality regression bug. If that number is found to be high(ish) for a test, the priority of fixing it after its disabling should be raised.

We find that we are fixing 35% of the bugs and disabling 23% of them.
Is there a credible plan for reenabling the ones we disable?

Great question, we do not have a credible plan, but we will have a quick way to see what is disabled:

I would like to build a dashboard when possible to outline per component which test cases exist, which are disabled, and what related intermittent bugs there are. Part of annotating moz.build files with BUG_COMPONENTS is to make it easier to associate all test cases with components whoch would help with a dashboard.

Do you have suggestions for how to ensure we keep up with the disabled tests?
