The new automation looks to be developer intensive for uplifts of the same patch to multiple branches. Current Bugzilla workflow: * If no bitrot is needed: go to Bugzilla, enter attachment view, select multiple uplift requests and fill in the form a maximum of twice (once for beta/release, the other for ESR). * If bitrot is needed: upload new patch & fill in attachment view. * Typically I've only ever needed one different patch per bug. New workflow: * Regardless of if bitrot exists: * Run `moz-phab-uplift` three times. * Do this three times: Go to phabricator page, select the request uplift, fill in form. Whilst I realise this is not a frequent action, I can see it being frustrating especially to have to go into phab multiple times and fill in forms on different pages.
