Bug queues are lower priority for sheriffs than alerts, so we should move them to the bottom of the page.
Keep them at the top for the trooper tab though. Perhaps eventually a tree-based option to configure the order of major sections.
There is an owner on this bug, but the status was not "Assigned" or "Started". Fixing. If you do not own this bug, please remove yourself as the owner and make the status "Available".
My hope is that collapsing the bugs by priority will help with making the bug queue feel less like it's getting in the way of what a sheriff should be doing.
I will keep this open though because "Start at the top and try to clear all the alerts" doesn't work as well when the top is not the highest priority. :)
I do want to note that this is trivial to do with Polymer if statements. But I think I'd prefer to do some sort of solution that assigned priorities to the top level sections (ie: Bug Queue, Alerts, Dead Swarming Bots) and reordered them based on per-tree config.
I don't know if we actually want the bug queue at the bottom of the page. It could lead to less prioritization of bug issues (like flaky) tests, which might be bad.
Have particular sheriffs asked for this? What do current sheriffs think about this idea?
This was mentioned in one of the older feedback writeups we had. This one: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rs4GeM-BxEyoj5L1nyEJPATTdPWVoXUjqUth71AKYSo/edit#
"Chromium bug queue
Contains bugs that I just filed from issues in SOM. I already know about these, they are linked to my SOM issues. Don’t show bugs here if they are linked to a SOM issue.
This section should be the last priority, not first. (First should be fixing the tree.)
"
So this has been requested by a sheriff before, but it's unclear if sheriffs in general would find this better.
