And on the seventh day Gervase Markham spoke:

Ok, I changed the numbers from 10 to 5-10 to indicate that the numbers
may vary if you ask different people for a permission upgrade.

Yesterday I went through the document and tried to shorten it a little
bit without taking out any of the guidelines. It's not much but it is
definitely shorter than before ;-)

I found http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-verification-guidelines.html
But this document is so outdated and incomplete in comparison to this
document that it should be removed (IMO) and replaced with this document.

It is only linked to from http://www.mozilla.org/docs/start.html (link
can be changed) and www.mozilla.org/quality/duplicate-resolved-bugs.html
which is even more outdated. The doc tells you to verify duplicates from
1999. Since no other document on www.mozilla.org links to
www.mozilla.org/quality/duplicate-resolved-bugs.html I think that this
page should also be removed.

IMO www.mozilla.org/quality badly needs some cleanup, but I will post
about this later.
