<div dir="ltr">Hi All!<div> </div><div>So I'm trying to streamline and improve triaging efforts (again...I know). The idea is that some bugs should be getting higher priority for triaging in order to catch bad ones faster and prevent regressions from sticking around longer than need be. With this said I've made a short table with what I see as a good prioritization set, I want to move this to a wiki but first want input from anyone/everyone, if I'm missing something, should condense, etc...</div> <div> </div><div>These lists (at least priority 1-4) become much more manageable than staring at 1500+ unconfirmed bugs. Especially 1-3 should be getting triaged quickly (preferably < 7 days). This is all in an attempt to get all bugs triaged successfully within 30 days of report - we're a long ways off but slowly can get there.</div> <div> </div><div style>If the list isn't legible to you (it's a table copy/paste) please let me know and I'll email you a document directly.</div><div style> </div><div style><table class="" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
