Hello,

We are currently operating with two severity systems:

   1.

   Old one: trivial, minor, normal, major, critical, and blocker
   2.

   New one: S4, S3, S2, and S1

Having two systems limits the effectiveness of our processes and tooling:
both at the level of the individual teams, trying to figure out the most
impactful bugs to work on, and at the level of the organization, trying to
estimate statistics about the current software quality, its evolution, and
so on.

To mitigate this issue, we will migrate old severity values to the new
equivalents. The migration process will be mostly silent (i.e. without
bugmail sent). An exception will be for non-crash bugs with old high
severity values, which will need to be re-triaged. To avoid overwhelming
teams with too many bugs to re-triage, this will be limited to 10 bugs per
team per week.

We plan to start the process on Monday, September 19th, 2022. You could
peek at examples of bugs and the number of bugs per team by checking
the dry-run
results

Thank you,

Suhaib, on behalf of the CI and Quality Tools team.
