572158 - Plugins:Flash (Adobe) owner bugzilla privileges

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

I received a request from Sal Madayag <[e-mail]> to give him and Daniel Dresser <[e-mail]> the ability to triage Flash bugs.

I believe this is appropriate as long as Sal and Daniel abide by Bugzilla Etiquette <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html> and <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/What_to_do_and_what_not_to_do_in_Bugzilla>. I don't know if it is possible or desirable to limit the privileges to the Plugins:Flash (Adobe) component or not.

I believe Charles already has privileges. Is that correct?

Gerv lists the following pre-requisites for obtaining privileges:

I'd like my permissions upgraded on bugzilla.mozilla.org.

    If you want "canconfirm", email me the URLs of three good bug reports you've filed.
    If you want "editbugs", email me either:

        * The URLs of two bugs to which you have attached patches or testcases; or
        * The URLs of the relevant comment on three bugs which you wanted to change, but couldn't, and so added a comment instead.

    "editbugs" implies "canconfirm"; there's no need to apply for both. Don't forget to include your Bugzilla ID if it's not the email address you are emailing from.

I find a good history for Charles, but no activity for Sal or Daniel in bugzilla. Sal, Daniel: can you give us examples of bugs where you are limited in performing the desired actions?

I've granted editbugs+canconfirm for [e-mail] / [e-mail] - I trust that you'll use the privileges responsibly!
