  Doesn't mean we're going to use github.

    well, if you would optimize of the patch-process (Creating PRs in Github is much faster than creating patches and uploading them to Bugzilla), it would lower the barrier.

      We're moving away from the attach-patches-to-bugs model, but in another direction: bugzilla integration with reviewboard, with changesets pushed to a review server and review requests being triggered automatically. See https://mozilla-version-control-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/mozreview.html https://mozilla-version-control-tools.readthedocs.org/en/lat... for details

        Sounds nice :) The old model felt rather clunky. I always had the impression that the coding was the easy part, getting the patch-creation right felt like a chore.

      It is a bit of a pain to get everything all set up, but once you do, you can use moz-git-tools [1] to just do: git bz attach -e HEAD ...and then it will figure out which bug to attach it to, bring up a little file to edit so you can change the commit message, and it will automatically attach the patch to the bug. You can also set reviewer flags, obsolete other patches, etc., at the same time. [1] https://github.com/mozilla/moz-git-tools https://github.com/mozilla/moz-git-tools
