Bugs in bugzilla.mozilla.org have a lot of metadata, and it's often not immediately obvious what the state of a bug is. To help with that, I've written an opinionated module for npm that looks at the bug's metadata and returns a readable status message.

I've published the first version of it on npmjs.org and encourage you to install it and try it out.

It's opinionated in the metadata it considers important to a bug's status: the regression keyword, status flags, and release flags.

The module also has a strong opinion about the meaning of the priority field, and uses it to describe the decision of what to do with bugs that haven't been nominated by the release team.

There's a GitHub repo for the module for pull requests, and of course a bugzilla bug, #1271685.
