happy bmo push day – mojolicious edition

As previously announced at FOSDEM 2018 and then re-announced at MojoConf, bugzilla.mozilla.org is now running on Mojolicious “A next generation web framework for the Perl programming language”

This release incorporates 28 changes and the Mojolicious migration is the least interesting to the end-user, but it is pretty important in terms of being able to deliver rich experiences moving forward.

As an aside, it’s very possible to just download and run bugzilla now,
and the Bugzilla Harmony initiative could use some help cranking out a first release. Interested parties can reach out to me or find us in #bugzilla on irc.mozilla.org
