I am for this proposal, too.

We need to spend a little man-power in the areas other than
implementing new features :-)

Fixing seemingly innocent warnings, etc. may not look a glorious task,
but we need to do this to ship quality software (not that
today's versions are not good quality, but we can make them better.)

And any automated process to get this started will be appreciated.

TIA

Great!  I'm all for this if we decide to act on the data.  :-)

(BTW this email was just sent to me, not sure if it went to the list or not -- 
if you sent it through NNTP it probably did...)

Are we going to spend the time to fix these, however?

I’d be up for that, certainly!

  For context, for as long as I remember, if you kept the browser console open 
and used the browser, we'd occasionally report an unhandled chrome JS errors 
(for example when attempting to access properties off of null variables). And 
those are not even strict errors.

I've occasionally filed bugs for them, but my impression was that unless I can 
construct a case for those warnings to map to a user visible bug, they would 
not be fixed.

Hence my - perhaps controversial - idea to auto-create and auto-assign bugs. So 
for new warnings that appear in the integration branch and m-c logs we could 
even make those bugs block the bugs that introduced them.

Mike.
