Requesting Prioritization

Users can request an issue to be prioritized. Prioritization means that the relevant team (T-compiler, T-rustdoc, T-libs) will have a look at the issue and assess its priority.

This procedure is usually reserved to regressions, the Rust project takes regressions seriously and these have usually priority above all the rest. When a regression is filed using the dedicated GitHub issue template, a prioritization of that issue is automatically requested.

To learn more about this procedure, please visit the prioritization documentation.

Usage

On repositories configured for prioritization, any user can post a comment with:

@rustbot prioritize

which will add the I-prioritize label to the issue and send a notification on Zulip.

Configuration

This feature is enabled on a repository by the [prioritize] table in triagebot.toml:

[prioritize]
# Name of the label used for requesting prioritization on issues
label = "I-prioritize"

Implementation

See parser/src/command/prioritize.rs and src/handlers/prioritize.rs.
