Research direction

Start by tracing the bugbot path that sends the "severity not set" needinfo and identify where the one-week interval is determined. Use the linked Bugzilla example to reproduce or verify the behavior, then confirm that the interval remains two weeks or is configurable per Bugzilla component.

Description

It seems that bugbot has started sending "severity not set" needinfos after 1 week instead of 2 (example).

Our team is already struggling to maintain a 2-week triage response time, so we would prefer that the time period not be reduced to 1 week.

If there's a desire for a shorter time period from other teams, perhaps it can be made configurable per Bugzilla component?
