This week, I'm going to focus on Parser-related bugs. There are currently 10 bugs on the with the “triage” keyword applied. A bug triage meeting needs about 30 bugs, so I have room for about 20 more right now. I'll be adding to the list before Monday, but this is your chance to get WMF's developers talking about YOUR favorite parser bug by adding the “triage” keyword.
This is generally a nice idea, of course, but in the specific case of parser bugs, we already have a keyword for that; I guess you could get your ~30 bugs just by https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=parser&bug_severity=blocker&bug_severity=critical&bug_severity=major&bug_severity=normal&bug_severity=minor&bug_severity=trivial&resolution=--- ;-)
This is an area where the community can help. Of that query, only about half of them have seen any activity at all this calendar year. We spend *some* time in the triage meeting with old bugs that are still a problem, but bugs where no one is even commenting generally are de facto low priority bugs.
Now, if you see something that you think should be high priority on that list, you should provide your reasoning in comment on one of those bugs. Lots of "+1s" are noisy and useless, but if a bug hasn't seen any activity for a few months, it's useful to provide a reminder about why the bug is still important.
