Anyone can submmit a hot bug request. If you are the owner of the bug, simply
prefix the bugzilla abstract with <b>[hotbug_request]</b>. You
should include the following information in the bugzilla:
<ol>
<li>Affiliation</li>
<li>Release you want this bug to be fixed in</li>
<li>Justify why this is a hot bug and why it needs to be fixed in that release</li>
</ol>
<p>If you are not the owner of the bug, please ask someone with appropriate
bugzilla permissions to add the information for you.
Note that at this point, this is only a hot bug request. WTP makes no commitment
to fix it in the proposed release. The owner of this bug will work with
the orginator on accepting or declining this request.

If a hot bug request is accepted, the bug owner should:

Update the <b>target milestone</b> field to reflect which release this bug
will be fixed in.

Change the bugzilla prefix from <b>[hotbug_request]</b> to <b>[hotbug]</b>.

In the case where the bug originator and the owner cannot come to an agreement on whether
a hot bug request should be promoted to a hot bug or not, the bug originator can attend the
weekly WTP status meeting and request that the PMC members take a vote and make a final
decision on whether the request should be promoted or not.

Each release, the PMC should decide on a hot bug submission cutoff date.
After this date, only shop ships and regressions can be submitted as hot bugs.
