Prioritization Working Group

Prioritization Working Group

working group status: active

Triaging bugs, mainly deciding if bugs are critical (potential release blockers) or not.

What is the goal of this working group?

This working group aims to accomplish the following:

  • Processing ‘nominations’ and routing bugs to folks who can fix them
  • Identifying critical bugs and monitoring them to ensure they are making progress
  • Identifying the agenda for compiler team triage meetings
    • Critical issues that are not making progress
    • Beta/Stable nominations to be backported
    • Issues where bugs are nominated for needing wider discussion
  • Tracking deferred things and ensuring they are picked up again
    • Future compatibility warnings

How do people bring things to the working group’s attention?

If the issue priority seems obvious, people can label it accordingly, example an obviously “critical” issue can be labelled as P-critical. But if unclear, use the I-prioritize label to bring it to the group’s attention.

How can I get involved?

If you are interested in getting involved in this working group, come and say hi in our Zulip stream. Also check out the Rust compiler calendar. You can also be added to the Zulip group for the working group if you are interested in being pinged when there are things that you may want to be involved with.
