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.
