Hello Firefox developers,
tl;dr: Uplift requests are moving from Bugzilla to Lando/Phabricator. Please create uplifts with `moz-phab uplift` or Lando and submit the uplift request form on Phabricator. The process is outlined here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Release_Management/Requesting_an_Uplift Here is an example of a completed request: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D176307 --- We are making some changes to the Firefox uplift process, tracked in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=uplift-automation. For anyone who hasn't submitted an uplift before, uplifts are requests made by Firefox developers to Release managers, requesting a patch or set of patches be pushed directly to our release repositories. This bypasses the usual 8 to 12 week release cycle and is useful for security patches, infrastructure patches and many other use cases. We are moving the process of requesting and landing uplifts from Bugzilla to Phabricator and Lando. You can now submit patches to Phabricator for uplift using Lando (which does not require a local checkout with the patch applied), or by using the `moz-phab uplift` command. The uplift request questionnaire will be submitted on Phabricator, using the same menu as "Accept Revision" and other review actions. Lando will enforce a review from the `release-managers` review group and enforce the uplift request questionnaire is submitted on at least one patch in the stack. If patches fail to land, it is now the developer's responsibility to resolve merging issues and re-land patches. As the changes made by each uplift request are tracked in new Phabricator revisions, the normal Phabricator processes and automation are available. For example, if a patch requires significant changes to cleanly apply to the target repository, you'll have the option to ask for code review prior to landing. This new process will reduce the overhead time for handling uplift requests placed on the Release management team and avoiding the need to run local VCS operations. It will also decrease the attack surface by revoking some special push privileges. We also expect this change to enable faster requesting and landing of uplift requests, as the uplift process is more closely aligned with the regular process for submitting and landing patches. Thanks to the Release Management team and all the engineers who took part in the pilot.
