486715 - Editor Escalation of Add-ons

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Admin/Editor Tools, defect)

Description

[Rey Bango]

Setup an escalation process by which complex add-ons can be escalated immediately to more skilled editors.

* Possible scenarios for escalation:
          o Binary component
          o Complex source code
          o Security concerns

* Editors can escalate to Senior Editors. Senior Editors escalate to specified Mozilla employees

* Setup categories of specialties that can dictate which specific person(s) would be ideal to handle a specific escalation request

* Have a default escalation bucket in case a specific candidate is not available.

* Consider how to promote an editor to Senior Editor status

I don't think this is a good idea. Senior and Admin Editors are very few, and we're trying to delegate the responsibility to regular editors as much as possible. Plus, complicated add-ons bubble up to the top of the queue anyway.
