Thanks for opening this issue, @vinyldarkscratch. I think this makes it much easier to see the overall picture of what you're doing with the infra PRs. 👍

Also, minor thing: most of the emoji here don't render on my computer (all but critical). Maybe the priorities could be split up with headings, instead?

[vinyldarkscratch]

Sure thing! I just updated the list to use headings instead of emojis. :wink:

I decided, for organizational purposes, to migrate this into a project board: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/projects/5 As such, I will go ahead and close out that issue. (I figured this would be alright, but let me know if I should switch back or otherwise!)
