It's caused by burnout From=20trying to keep things I don't use working, the fast pace of upstream development, my aged hardware and poor teamplay (mea culpa). Hopefully, this answers the question of why many gecko@ bugs remain untriaged. If other gecko@ members are also inactive then maybe it's time to disband the team. So, good luck with the next www/firefox update (to 41.0+). Useful tips: =2D To avoid rush prepare for releases[1] in advance using buindN candidates =2D For a bit out-of-date list of ideas to work on see Gecko_TODO[2] =2D Many patches are tracked[3] as issues/review on bugzilla.mozilla.org =2D A few can be dropped[4] if prove to be hard to maintain =2D Non-official buildbot[5] can be used for tracking upstream breakage I'll probably keep www/firefox-esr up to date for esr38 lifecycle to avoid security issues but no plans for after that. Not documenting my workflow as it was way too inefficient.
