I try to mentor as many bugs as possible. My ideal workflow would be to grant r+, suggest a try: string, and set checkin-needed in a single act, without having to determine whether the contributor has try access and/or editbugs. If we already have people scanning for checkin-needed and looking for try pushes, it seems pretty logical to have them just trigger any missing pushes. bholley _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
