Contributing to Bugzilla

Bugzilla welcomes contribution from everyone. Here are the guidelines if you are thinking of helping us:

Contributions

Contributions to Bugzilla should be made in the form of GitHub pull requests. Each pull request will be reviewed by a core contributor (someone with permission to land patches) and either landed in the main tree or given feedback for changes that would be required. All contributions should follow this format, even those from core contributors.

Should you wish to work on an issue, please claim it first by commenting on the GitHub issue that you want to work on it. This is to prevent duplicated efforts from contributors on the same issue.

Head over to BugsAhoy! to find good tasks to start with. If you come across words or jargon that do not make sense, please check FIXME first. If there's no matching entry, please make a pull request to add one with the content TODO so we can correct that!

See README.rst for more information on how to start working on Bugzilla.

Pull Request Checklist

  • Branch from the master branch and, if needed, rebase to the current master branch before submitting your pull request. If it doesn't merge cleanly with master you may be asked to rebase your changes.

  • Commits should be as small as possible, while ensuring that each commit is correct independently (i.e., each commit should compile and pass tests).

  • If your patch is not getting reviewed or you need a specific person to review it, you can @-reply a reviewer asking for a review in the pull request or a comment, or you can ask for a review in #bugzilla on irc.mozilla.org.

  • Add tests relevant to the fixed bug or new feature.

For specific git instructions, see GitHub workflow 101.

Conduct

In all Bugzilla-related forums, we follow the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines. For escalation or moderation issues, please contact [email protected] instead of [email protected]. We will respond within 24 hours.

Communication

Bugzilla contributors frequent the #bugzilla channel on irc.mozilla.org.

You can also join the bugzilla-dev mailing list.
