Mozilla.org Publishes Security Policy
benb from Beonex writes: "mozilla.org agreed upon a policy how to handle reports about severe security vulnerabilities. It is about to be implemented. In the future, you will find information about most security bugs at the known vulnerabilities page; there will also be an announce mailing list. In case you are interested, you can read my own review (and the security module owner's response) of the policy." -
Mozilla's 100,000th Bug
benb writes: "bugzilla.mozilla.org just hit bug 100,000 (cached). This proves its scalability. BugZilla is used to track work on Mozilla. Every change has to have a bug. This includes new features and bugs found by developers/testers during development (bugs that never reached users). We also get a lot of duplicates (which dedicated triagers sort out). So, the number of filed closed bugs cannot be used as criteria of the quality of Mozilla. During usage, BugZilla evolved to a very comfortable web platform for filing/tracking bugs, one that has only very few competition (of which I know). Examples are the emailing and dependency systems. In fact, BugZilla is probably the most important communication medium used in the Mozilla project (apart from the source code itself)." -
