Bjoern already largely addressed this but bugzilla is hugely limited for
organizing.

What I think would be minimum (and can be done) is:
Confirm each crash on 5.0;
_Ensure_ that each has easy steps;
_Ensure_ that each has been checked for regressions (and tagged
accordingly in whiteboard/version field);
_Ensure_ that each has a debug log;
Prioritize correctly (Major/Critical High/Highest)

For the most straight forward ones that have easy steps we can just mark
them as critical + highest - signaling that they are easy to reproduce
and everything is there for devs to tackle them.

Best,
Joel
