What does a Android RoboCop do?

The RoboCop has two primary jobs:

  1. Monitor and approve the semi-autonomous git merges from Skia's repository into the Android source tree. See autoroller documentation here for details on how to interact with it.

  2. Stay on top of incoming Android-related bugs in both the Skia and Android bug trackers. For Skia bugs, this means triaging and assigning all Android bugs that are currently unassigned. For Android, this means following the Android guidelines to verifying that all Skia bugs are TL-triaged (if not reach out to djsollen@).

The RoboCop‘s job is NOT to address issues in Perf and Gold. You’ll get your chance when you are the general Skia sheriff.
