How to Triage a Bug

The bug system is the heart beat of an open source project. In order to understand how an open source project is working, it is often necessary to understand how the project uses its bug system.

Here are the rules we use to triage a bug:

  1. Verify that the bug is reproducible. If not, ask for details. Verify that the enhancement request is reasonable.
  2. Make sure there is an owner for the bug.
    • The owner must not be the inbox user.
    • Use the component owner table (TBD) to determine the owner.
    • Being the owner means watching the bug, being knowledgeable in the code area and knowing how to answer questions and help someone who wants to work on it.
  3. Set the bug priority. If unsure leave it as default (P3).
  4. Make sure it is in the right bugzilla component
    • P1: Stop ship. Fix it now!
    • P2: Important, in progress
    • P3: Maybe someone will get to it
    • P4: Nice to have, probably won't get to it
    • P5: Probably won't happen
  5. Add the "helpwanted" keyword for easy, non-critical bugs that would be good for a newcomer to work on
  6. Make sure the severity is set to "enhancement" for feature requests. For other severities leave it as selected by bug originator.


Once a bug is triaged, it is addressed in priority order by the owner. Bug that are unowned are not being worked on.
