This page describes how to triage bugs.

What is Triage?
Triaging of bugs is a way to assess the relative importance of bugs. There are lots of bugs. Since resources are finite, not all can be resolved immediately. Triage is necessary to raise the urgency of bugs that need to be fixed immediately as well as figure out which ones do not merit much attention.

Things to consider

 * How many people are affected?
 * Does this bug cause a loss of data?
 * Is there a widely-known workaround?
