14 Prioritizing Web Kit Bugs in Bugzilla
18 <p>This document describes the current guidelines for assigning priorities to Web Kit bugs in <a href="http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/">Bugzilla</a>.
19 The relevant bugs are all of those whose product is "WebKit".</p>
21 <a name="standardrules"></a><h2>Standard priority rules</h2>
22 <p>Each bug is assigned the first appropriate priority listed below
23 from top to bottom.</p>
27 <li>Any reproducible crash or hang.</li>
28 <li>Any regression from a previous publicly released version of WebKit.</li>
29 <li>Serious problem on important site due to site change or newly-important site.</li>
30 <li>Serious security issue.</li>
35 <li>Site that does not function in some non-trivial way.</li>
36 <li>Serious performance complaints.</li>
37 <li>Site that has really bad cosmetic problems (e.g., content overlapping such that it's very hard to read).</li>
38 <li>Unreproducible crash or hang that has been reported many times.</li>
43 <li>Site that works but has some cosmetic problems.</li>
44 <li>Minor performance complaints, such as trivial memory leaks.</li>
45 <li>Architecture issues that could help with correctness or performance but are not a clear win in advance.</li>
46 <li>Unreproducible crash or hang.</li>
51 <li>All enhancement requests and feature requests not covered the criteria for p1, p2, or p3.</li>
56 <li>P5 is not used for WebKit bugs. WebKit shares its Bugzilla with other
57 projects who might use it, that's why it's still there.</li>
60 <a name="commonadjustments"></a><h2>Common adjustments to priority</h2>
62 <li>If there is a workaround, the priority may be moved down.</li>
63 <li>If a bug gets a lot of duplicates, the priority may be moved up.</li>
64 <li>If a bug is getting a lot of public attention, the priority may be moved up.</li>
65 <li>If a bug is on a very important site, the priority may be moved up.</li>
