It's the weekly report on the state of triage in Firefox-related
components. I apologize for missing last week’s report. I was travelling
and did not have a chance to sit down and focus on this.

Hotspots

The components with the most untriaged bugs remain the JavaScript Engine
and Build Config.

I discussed the JavaScript bugs with Naveed. What will happen is that the
JavaScript bugs which have not been marked as a priority for Quantum Flow
(the ‘\[qf:p[1:3]\]’ whiteboard tags) or existing work (the ‘\[js:p[1:3]\]’
whiteboard tags) will be moved to the backlog (P3) for review after the
Firefox 57 release. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1392436
.

What should we do with these bugs? Bulk close them? Make them into P3s?
Bugs without decisions add noise to our system, cause despair in those
trying to triage bugs, and leaves the community wondering if we listen to
them.

Methods and Definitions

In this report I talk about bugs in Core, Firefox, Firefox for Android,
Firefox for IOs, and Toolkit which are unresolved, not filed from
treeherder using the intermittent-bug-filer account*, and have no pending
needinfos.

By triaged, I mean a bug has been marked as P1 (work on now), P2 (work on
next), P3 (backlog), or P5 (will not work on but will accept a patch).

A triage decision is not the same as a release decision (status and
tracking flags.)

https://mozilla.github.io/triage-report/#report

Age of Untriaged Bugs

The average age of a bug filed since June 1st of 2016 which has gone
without triage.

https://mozilla.github.io/triage-report/#date-report

Untriaged Bugs in Current Cycle

Bugs filed since the start of the Firefox 55 release cycle (March 6th,
2017) which do not have a triage decision.

https://mzl.la/2u1R7gA

Recommendation: review bugs you are responsible for (
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=triage_owners.html) and make
triage decision, or RESOLVE.

Untriaged Bugs in Current Cycle Affecting Next Release

Bugs marked status_firefox56 = affected and untriaged.

https://mzl.la/2u2GCcG

Enhancements in Release Cycle

Bugs filed in the release cycle which are enhancement requests, severity =
enhancement, and untriaged.

​Recommendation: ​product managers should review and mark as P3, P5, or
RESOLVE as WONTFIX.

High Priority Bugs without Owners

Bugs with a priority of P1, which do not have an assignee, have not been
modified in the past two weeks, and do not have pending needinfos.

https://mzl.la/2u1VLem

Recommendation: review priorities and assign bugs, re-prioritize to P2, P3,
P5, or RESOLVE.

Stalled High Priority Bugs

There 159 bugs with a priority of P1, which have an assignee, but have not
been modified in the past two weeks.

https://mzl.la/2u2poMJ

Recommendation: review assignments, determine if the priority should be
changed to P2, P3, P5 or RESOLVE.

* New intermittents are filed as P5s, and we are still cleaning up bugs
after this change, See  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1381587
