I'm going to resurrect this old thread to ask: is anybody currently triaging bugs the Core: Widget: Qt bugzilla component? I'm trying to find owners for all of our active bugzilla components, and I'm not sure the status of this.
I would support us removing the widget/qt code from the tree unless we have clear ownership not only of reviewing patches, but the supporting activities such as bug triage and some kind of continuous automation. --BDS On Sun, Apr 17, 2016 at 11:12 AM, Raine Mäkeläinen < raine.makelai...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think that in this context we are talking about mozilla/widget/qt/* > components and yes we're using those in our Gecko build.
