TL;DR: The keywords will use browser names, not engine names, even for platform bugs.
Due to feedback on the bug, the plan is now to add parity-[browser] keywords instead of compat-[engine] keywords so they can be shared with non-platform bugs. We could have keywords for both, but that would allow the current confused situation to continue (a mixed bag of browser name and engine name keywords in platform bugs). To avoid that it seems better to just have browser name based keywords and depend on bugzilla component to distinguish between platform and non-platform bugs. Of course Opera presents a small wrinkle in this plan since it can use one of two engines, one of which it shares with Chrome. To resolve that the parity-opera keyword would be redundant in platform bugs (equivalent to parity-chrome, which is to say blink parity issues), and parity-opera-mini would be equivalent to what is currently the whiteboard string "[parity-presto opera]". While not ideal, this limits the scope for confusion and broken searches to only Opera/Presto (which we don't need to track all that often). So the proposed keywords and the whiteboard strings they'd unify: parity-chrome parity-chrome parity-blink chrome-parity blink-parity parity-safari parity-safari parity-webkit safari-parity parity-ie parity-ie parity-ie10 parity-ie11 parity-ie8 parity-ie9 parity-trident ie-parity ie11-parity parity-edge parity-edge edge-parity parity-opera parity-opera opera-parity parity-opera-mini parity-presto opera parity-opera12 As before, preferably direct any feedback to the bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443764 -Jonathan On 08/03/2018 21:56, Jonathan Watt wrote: > I've filed a bug[1] proposing that we create the following four keywords in > bugzilla, and use the new keywords to replace the various whiteboard flags > (and > their uppercase variants) indented under each keyword: > > compat-blink > parity-blink > parity-chrome > parity-opera > > compat-edge > parity-edge > > compat-ie (nowadays we only need track compat with the final version, IE11) > parity-ie > parity-ie10 > parity-ie11 > parity-ie8 > parity-ie9 > > compat-webkit > parity-safari > parity-webkit > > Hopefully this will make it less likely that people searching bugzilla for web > compat issues will miss a bunch of the bugs that they care about, and make it > easier to mark bugs. > > Assuming no one has objections, Emma will add the new keywords on Monday.
