 - Implement tooling, (e.g. quilt, gbp-pq) that similar projects (e.g.,
 Tails) use to automate these kinds of code rebase tasks.
 - Work with Mozilla to identify any infrastructure we can set up together
 to help us to automate our rebase process.
 - Configure alerts to notify the Tor Browser team when automatic rebasing
 of patches fails.
 - Experiment with and adjust cycle length for automatic rebasing
 procedures (e.g daily versus weekly versus fortnightly) depending on
 fallout results of this process.
 - Manually fix fallout from automatic rebase process.
