The test262 feature flag links to a code search of tests using that feature flag, which may constitute complete or partial coverage. The ❓ means there is no feature flag for tests yet.

Onboarding existing proposals

Proposals that are Stage 1 and above must be transferred to the TC39 GitHub organization for discoverability and archival purposes. To onboard a proposal that lives outside the TC39 organization:

Transfer your repository to the @tc39-transfer organization

if you are a TC39 delegate, but not a member of that organization, please contact @LJHarb

One of the chairs (@bterlson, @gesa, @MylesBorins, or @robpalme) will transfer your repository to the TC39 organization the next chance they get.

Note that as part of the onboarding process your repository name may be normalized. Don't worry, repo redirects will continue to work as long as you never create a fork, or a new repository, with the same name - although Github Pages redirects will be broken (please update your links!).
