Normally it would seem to me that the versions are for released versions of Thunderbird and the milestone field is used for future releases. I do not see version 6 being available from the main Thunderbird page. We could add the new versions but I would like to first get approval from the module owners listed on this wiki: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/Thunderbird

Thanks

In the rare case that the bug is happening in beta or alpha but not trunk (and not because it's already been fixed on the trunk), I think a comment in the bug is sufficient. Does Firefox do anything special for this for the aurora and beta channels?

On bugzilla you can choose to file bugs against Firefox 6/7/8 branch on Version field.

I'm happy for 6, 7 & 8 to be added. I hadn't realised that FF were doing this, but I think it is fine to.
