thanks for help on b.m.o upgrade and things still to do

[Myk Melez]

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all your help getting the Bugzilla trunk ready for the b.m.o 
upgrade (and developer's release)!  In the last few days a number of 
folks have pitched in with patches, reviews, testing, advice, and other 
help, and I appreciate it very much.  It has already contributed to 
making this upgrade smoother than previous ones.

There are still a few things to do and not much time to do them.  If you 
have some time, please pitch in.  The following bugs (in order of 
importance from most to least) need review:

178841 - confidential bug; email me if you want to help review and 
aren't in the security group
171505 - disabled flags should still show up in the UI

In addition, the following two bugs aren't on the blocker list, but they 
are low risk and small and ripe for adding (if the two bugs above get 
resolved quickly):

bug 170464 - OS/2 disappeared from operating system list (Bugzilla Helper)
bug 178984 - flag requestee field should be disabled unless flag is 
requested

If more bugs pop up in the next day I'll link to them from the b.m.o 
upgrade bug:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=bmo-upgrade

If you see a bug that should be in the upgrade, tell me why in a comment 
on the upgrade bug, but note that only security vulnerabilities, serious 
bustage, significant performance improvements, and extremely low-risk UI 
enhancements will get into the upgrade at this late stage.

Also note that Dave has the final say on what goes into the developer's 
release (and thus, the b.m.o upgrade), but I think he's following my 
lead on things (at least until after the upgrade).  You need to get 
a=justdave on all bugs at this point before checking in a fix for them.

One more thing!  If you're responsible for a feature that landed since 
the last b.m.o upgrade on July 11, it would really help if you wrote up 
a small blurb about the feature, how it works, and how to use it.  I'll 
use your blurb in an email to the mozilla.org community about the 
upgrade on Monday, and I'll pass it along to Dave for use in the release 
notes and publicity for the developer's release.
