Hi!

I finished up all the groundwork I needed to do to finally get us to a
point where we could have a Crash Reporting Data Dictionary. I threw
together the last bits for a first pass today and pushed it to production
just now. You can see it on the Crash Stats site:

https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/documentation/datadictionary/

It's modeled loosely after the Glean Dictionary
<https://dictionary.telemetry.mozilla.org/> but focuses specifically on
crash reporting data.

What you can see there:

1. up-to-date list of crash annotations that are supported by Socorro,
descriptions, required permissions, types, data review urls
2. up-to-date list of things in the processed crash report, source
annotations, Super Search field name, required permissions, examples of
data, data caveats / gotchas

Some examples:

annotation:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/documentation/datadictionary/dataset/annotation/field/BackgroundTaskName

processed crash field:
https://crash-stats.allizom.org/documentation/datadictionary/dataset/processed/field/xpcom_spin_event_loop_stack

Going forward, whenever we add support for a new crash annotation, it'll
automatically get added to the data dictionary. Further, whenever we add a
new field to Super Search, it'll get automatically added to the data
dictionary.

This is a first pass and it's kind of ugly and while there are some
additional things I'm mulling over doing, I'd love to get some initial
feedback. Does it work for you? Does it answer questions you have or have
had while using Crash Stats? Are there things you wish it covered that it
doesn't? Write up a bug, send me an email, ping me on #crashreporting on
Matrix.

This is covered in bug 1803558
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1803558> which while it was
created this morning has been in my queue of things to do for years.

I hope this helps!
