1594247 - Do not automatically set the severity of crashes to `critical`

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect)

Description

[Emma Humphries ☕️🎸🧞‍♀️✨ (she/they) [:emceeaich] (Pacific Time) use needinfo]

Not all crashes are the same. Some are transient. Some are caused by the test environment. Others affect a small number of users.

Marking every crash as severity = critical creates a noisy signal.

Treeherder already marks crash bugs with the crash keyword.

We would prefer that either:

1. A non-default severity is never set when creating a crash bug
2. If a crash exceeds some threshold set in Treeherder (users, frequency, etc) then the crash bug is set with critical severity.
