SUMMARY

Change default owner for firefox components.


DETAIL

I spent about two weeks shadowing bugs@bengoodger.com just to see if I could
help out with the triage.  Forget it!  Bugs come in at a blinding rate.

I talked to Ben about this, and we thought it might be better if the default
assignee was changed to nobody@mozilla.org and component@firefox.bugs, so that
developers could listen in to specific components (e.g.,
preferences@firefox.bugs), and so that folks in the community would not put all
the blame on Ben for not processing bug mail in a timely fashion.  No single
human can do that!!!

I propose that bug and qa ownership be changed for all firefox components since
those are all pretty high traffic components.

I know there were plans to do this in a grand and unified way for the entire bug
system, but how about we start with Firefox since I think it is badly needed.
I support this for any component default assignees who want out. 
I was about to ask to get my QA contacts pushed to generics, so I'm down for that.  
pch is gone, so Search should change.  
Vlad already has a separate account he's using for default on bookmarks bugs, so
I think he'd be in favour of this.  ccing him to confirm.  
David James and Erik Fornoff are long gone too, so we should change those.  
Simon Paquet is working mostly on Sunbird, so ccing him too.
Ali's been busy with school, but he seems to be more back now, ccing him to see
if he's fine just watching.
I'm fine with moving over default QA for Firefox Download Manager/File Handling
and Toolkit Download Manager over to generics if that's what people would like
to see. It doesn't really make a difference to me whether or not I'm the default
QA assignee or just watching a generic. The work is the same either way.

Classes are keeping me rather busy (no more late nights, since classes start
*early* here), but I'm still looking to help triage whenever I can (which
granted is less than I've been able to previously).
I'm fine with this approach, just give me a heads up one or two days before you
do this, so that I can change my watch settings in time.

As a note to Mike, I'm still doing Firefox QA but not nearly as much as I used
to when I was still studying or during my 6-month unemployment after I finished
business school. Right now I have a nice and clean 50-70 hour week, which does
not allow for a lot of Firefox-related work.
Please take away my default ownership. (And re-assign existing UNCO/NEW bugs!)
Soon, because it's confusing people into thinking I'm pondering things that
really I am not.

a=asa. Dave, can you hook us up with some bogus accounts? Timeless, can you make
these changes, please?
Can someone get me a list of desired account names?

> Can someone get me a list of desired account names?

Here's my suggestions:

  bookmarks@firefox.bugs
  build.config@firefox.bugs
  disability.access@firefox.bugs
  download.manager@firefox.bugs
* extension.manager@firefox.bugs
  file.handling@firefox.bugs
* fast.find@firefox.bugs
  form.manager@firefix.bugs
  general@firefox.bugs
  help.documentation@firefox.bugs
  history@firefox.bugs
  installer@firefox.bugs
  javascript.console@firefox.bugs
  keyboard.navigation@firefox.bugs
* location.bar@firefox.bugs
  menus@firefox.bugs
  migration@firefox.bugs
  os.integration@firefox.bugs
  page.info@firefox.bugs
  password.manager@firefox.bugs
* plugin.finder@firefox.bugs
  preferences@firefox.bugs
  product.site@firefox.bugs
  search@firefox.bugs
  security@firefox.bugs
  software.update@firefox.bugs
* startup@firefox.bugs
  tabbed.browser@firefox.bugs
  toolbars@firefox.bugs
  view.source@firefox.bugs

Addresses with a "*" in front of them are ones that deviate from the component
names slightly.  For example, instead of "location.bar.and.autocomplete", I
suggest simply "location.bar" because it seems sufficient to me.

I don't know if everyone agrees with my choices here, and I can't say that I
have any authority to say what they should be.  Someone with that authority
(asa?) should confirm that these are good choices or suggest better ones.

CCing Aaron to make sure he's OK with these changes.
It's okay with me.
So, any progress with this?  Is there anything blocking this change?
I missed the original Cc on this; this sounds like a great idea.

Nothing but the size of my buglist.  Go to http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Justdave
and click on the ToDo List link, it's sorted in priority order.

If it's not near the top of that list, it tends to get ignored unless someone
makes noise on it like you guys did today.

These accounts are now created.  Several of these actually already existed, and
appear to be in use already.

Back to the component/keyword folks to set up the QAs.
