Leaving aside this part, I think Joel's request is help to find an owner
for these tests who can be responsible for maintaining them. I think this
is the right approach and will help get the test suite into a better state
over time. Finding an owner makes the rest of this thread moot at this
point (although we can certainly talk about policy separately). Is there an
obvious owner for the new tab page tests and Bugzilla component? To which
engineering team does this work now fall?
