June 10, 2025 — Bug scrub is very important for every WordPress release. It helps to sort out tickets and help them to move forward. It helps release squad to move forward with the release planning. Leading a bug scrub is always difficult. It requires mid level knowledge of the core trac. I was struggling to understand core trac at first in my initial contribution days. I was WordPress 6.6 Triage Co-Lead (part of latest WordPress release squad). I feel like it is needed to share knowledge with the new contributors about bug scrub. What is bug scrub and how to lead a bug scrub. Details of each keywords of core t I believe it will help a lot of contributors to understand and contribute more. Even to apply as a Triage lead.
