I will be tracking trunk builds from start of 2008 till now (this post) and beyond, but the categories are quite general (only Thunderbird-specific and several other related ones, including MailNews). (I am now using Python to partially automate Bugzilla output into HTML form, but it is still very much work-in-progress.)

Here is a not-so-good query of outstanding Thunderbird-specific blocker and critical bugs.

I don't test trunk builds that often, so please feel free to comment if they break.
