[PLEASE READ] Bugzilla-dev.allizom.org and bugzilla.allizom.org will have a data refresh Thursday September 21

[David Lawrence]

With the goal in keeping our test and stage Bugzilla (BMO) instances up
to date with the latest data for beta testing and other purposes, we
will be updating the database to more recent snapshot of production
data. Most likely the update will occur near the end of the day eastern
time. The two sites may not be accessible during that time.

Why you may need to worry about is, if you are actively using
https://bugzilla-dev.allizom.org or https://bugzilla.allizom.org and you
have accounts with passwords and API keys set up, those accounts will
need to be reset after the update. As part of the process when taking a
snapshot of production data for re-import, we clear all passwords and
API keys and other sensitive data. In addition we remove all private
data such as private bugs, attachments, comments, etc.

We also disable email delivery for all users on those systems so you
will not be able to do the password reset yourself. If you still need to
use the test/stage instances for any reason with an authenticated
account, please reach out to me or another admin in #bmo on Slack. You
can also email bmo-...@mozilla.org. We can then reset your password to
a known value and provide it to you.

If the time that we plan on doing the change over simply does not work
for you for some reason, let us know and we can postpone the change to a
later time.

Thanks!
