comm-1.9.1 tree rules

[Mark Banner]

As we're now getting into the security & stability phase of the 1.9.1
branch, please familiarise yourselves with the tree rules for 1.9.1.
These are linked to from the tinderbox page and the quick link is here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tree_Rules/comm-central#comm-1.9.1

The main highlights are:

- Patches should land on comm-central as soon as they have been reviewed.
- After a period of time for baking and testing (typically at least a
few days), approval-thunderbird3.0.* can be requested.
- When requesting approval, a risk assessment should be given.
- Patches with unit tests are more likely to get approval.
- Patches must not change APIs to ensure stability for extensions.

The 1.9.1 branch should be considered primarily for security & stability
fixes. However it is acknowledged that in the first couple of point
releases we may need to land some regression fixes if there are
significant issues found and therefore drivers will take these on a
case-by-case basis.

We will be getting flags set up for status and fixed for additional
tracking, I'll post again once they are set up.

I asume that "no regression" includes string frozen, too, right?

Yes, we're definitely not going to allow any string changes on 1.9.1.
