Any bugs discovered in newly developed features in v19.  As a practical
matter, ones that seem complicated to resolve make it there since quickly
resolved ones just get fixed.

Bugs that reproduce in v18 or earlier would not be placed there.

It=E2=80=99s a chance to demonstrate personal judgement.  Severity and
committer/author responsiveness are two additional criteria to judge.  It=
=E2=80=99s
both a simple tracker but also a kind of escalation channel since it gets
RMT members involved.
