As discussed earlier, Joel and I have kicked off a process to close
intermittent test failures in Bugzilla.
If a test associated with a bug does not fail in 21 days, we'll close the
bug as RESOLVED:INCOMPLETE.
The first batch of intermittent bugs to close has 5,130 tickets. I have a
script to close these, but to close these without bug spam requires DBA
intervention.
I'd like to run the closures over the weekend but that's going to create a
non-trivial amount of bug spam for some of you.
There is a way to get rid of the bug spam!
Every bug we close will have the keyword `bulk-close-intermittents` added
to it.
If you search for messages from `
bugzill...@mozilla.org` containing
`bulk-close-intermittents` you can isolate, review, and remove those
messages.
Thank you for your patience while we all work to get the noise out of
Bugzilla so we can find the strong signals on what we must focus on to
deliver Firefox 57 in November.
