Prioritization WG - Check-ins

Current

2020-09-23

• We published last week a Call for new contributors. The answer was above our expectations, to this day we have received 13 new applications and we are therefore encouraging new volunteers showing up to also join the Cleanup ICE-breaker and bisect group.

• We have now a repo for the working group and we are mainly handling our todo list as issues there.
• Our procedure automation cli is "complete" and outputs the agenda but we still need to integrate it with the Zulip bot.
• We've documented our procedure with a lot of details on Rust Forge.
• We have added Pre-FCP and FCP information to the announcements.
• There's a list of things we need to tweak in our issue tracker, help is appreciated :)

• We are now executing our process fully async and have bi-weekly planning/steering meetings to think about things to improve.
• We've prioritized all I-unsound 💥 issues for T-compiler and libs-impl
  • From now on new issues tagged with I-unsound 💥 will automatically add I-prioritize and then request prioritization to the wg.
• There are not unprioritized regressions anymore
  • We've prioritized all regression-from-stable-to-stable issues for T-compiler and libs-impl
  • From now on new issues tagged with regression-from-stable-to-stable will automatically add I-prioritize and then request prioritization to the wg.
  • Same happens for regression-from-stable-to-beta and regression-from-stable-to-nightly
• We are in the process of automating most of our procedure

This is the first checkin from WG Prioritization.

• The group is formally formed
  • Main goal is to triaging bugs, mainly deciding if bugs are critical (potential release blockers) or not.
  • Route bugs to folks who can fix them.
  • Build the agenda for these meetings.
  • Among other things :)
• We have some plans and procedures documented.
• We've created I-prioritize and splitted the meaning of it with I-nominated for easier request for prioritization.
• We've created P-critical and defined the different priority levels this is still WIP.
• We're trying to have all this process async
  • When someone tags I-prioritize a Zulip topic is automatically created requesting for prioritization of the issue in question so we can prioritize async.
  • @rustbot prioritize works too for non-members
  • We should do the same for beta/stable backports, I-nominated, S-waiting-on-team
  • We're also trying to automate with commands our meetings and this one in particular.
