I'll create this, but leaving the ticket open so :MattN can get back to me with the triage lead. I'll mark him as it until he gets back to me. 

I'll also update the wiki.

Component created, waiting on confirmation of Triage Lead.

Nit: Would "DOM: Payments" be sufficient?

I don't expect to be reviewing the Gecko C++ code but I guess this is about the supporting UI?

I defer to Adam/Wesly on this.

It looks like the two specs linked are collectively called WebPayments?

I think Wesly is the right person to determine triage personnel. In terms of naming, I thing that "WebPayments" (being the name of the working group and the common name of the technology) will be more universally recognizable than simply "Payments." It also does a good job of distinguishing from, say, "Cloud Services :: Payments", which is a rather different thing.

Sure, but the product (Core) and prefix ("DOM: ") already do that and in my mind "web" is implied nowadays for code in Core::DOM. It's also just one less (IMO redundant) syllable to say. That's my viewpoint anyways feel free to ignore.

The same argument could be equally applied to suggest we rename the "WebRTC" component to simply "RTC". The issue is that "WebPayments" is more than simply descriptive; it's the literal name of the technology.

Hi Emma:

1. Sorry for late, please set me as the Triage lead for now. 

2. I'll need to transfer this role to someone in DOM team once the project complete (maybe 2018), since the TDC resource (including me) will be re-allocated then.

Thanks, I'll do that close the ticket.

Okay, just file a new ticket to get the triage lead reassigned.

Hi Emma, 

We have both "Wesley Huang" and "Wesly Huang" (me, [e-mail]) in the same team + same office here. Sorry for the confusion and please help correct the Triage lead to me. Thanks!
