360041 - Request for wanted-sm1.1 flag for SeaMonkey/Suite components

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[Philip Chee]

It would be useful for SeaMonkey components to have a wanted-sm1.1 and wanted-sm1.0.7 flags "to track bugs that are not strictly blockers, but are wanted as soon as possible for those branches"

I actually see no big need for such flags, we're a relatively small team and could live very well without those flags for the recent stability releases. As both branches are in a stability phase now, I see no reason why we'd need such a flag.

We also have no payed worforce to throw behind such bugs, so either a bug is severe enough to be a blocker, or it has a patch and review/approval is requested. In both cases, it appears on our radar now as well.

I disagree.  I think flags would be better than a tracking bug like I used for SM1.1
