+Shared Bug Queues
+=================
+
+Reviewers for change sets can be suggested at the product and component
+level, but only the person who has been asked to review code will be
+notified.
+
+Realizing that Bugzilla users can *watch* other users, `Chris
+Cooper <https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/coop/>`__ came up with the idea
+of having `a shared reviews alias for review
+requests <http://coopcoopbware.tumblr.com/post/170952242320/experiments-in-productivity-the-shared-bug-queue>`__.
+
+If you want to watch a particular part of the tree in Mozilla Central,
+then `use the Herald
+tool <https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/book/phabricator/article/herald/>`__.
+
+Process
+-------
+
+1. Create a new bugzilla.mozilla.com account for an address which can
+ receive mail.
+ Use the ``name+extension@domain.tld`` trick such as
+ ``jmozillian+reviews@mozilla.com`` to create a unique address
+2. Respond to the email sent by Bugzilla and set a password on the
+ account
+3. `Open a bug <https://mzl.la/2Mg8Sli>`__ to convert the account to a
+ bot and make it the shared review queue for your component
+4. BMO administrator updates the email address of the new account to the
+ ``@mozilla.bugs`` address
+5. BMO administrator updates the default reviewer for the component
+ requested and sets it to the shared review account
+6. Reviewers `follow the shared review account in
+ bugzilla <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email>`__
+7. Reviewers get notified when shared review account is ``r?``\ ed
