1570650 - mozregression should work with esr branches

Status: NEW

(Testing :: mozregression, enhancement)

Description

[Dennis Schubert [:denschub][OOO, back Aug 11]]

I'm currently running into an issue with the Fenenc "esr" builds I need to run mozregression on, so I tried --repo mozilla-esr68 and other combinations, to no avail. Looking at mozregression/branches.py, it looks like mozregression is not able to deal with esr, which it probably should.

So this is something I'd thought about adding before. I guess the question is if we want to hard-code known ESRs (and update once a year for new ones), or only provide current ones, which are query-able from firefox_versions.json. I'm leaning towards the latter, since I doubt there'd be much call for regression-testing no-longer-supported versions. First pass implementation: https://github.com/KwanEsq/mozregression/commit/esr

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.

Sorry, there was a problem with the detection of inactive users. I'm reverting the change.

Today I need to test ESR 78.9. Writing this to say that it may happen that we need older versions. Hopefully this can be done.
