Hi all, It just came to my attention that GitHub added a new "triage" access level at the repo level. https://github.blog/changelog/2019-05-23-triage-and-maintain-roles-beta/
In the past, we've identified that it was impossible for non-committers (especially our PMs and contributors-that-are-not-yet-committers) to help us triage issues, apply labels, assign reviews, close and reopen issues as needed. It's really clear to me that we really need all the help we can get in this area, and that not being able to involve more people into this process hurts us, and is a clear operational downside of using the ASF infra. I'd like to build a case for this to become allowed by ASF infra. But first, I'd love to see some +1s, and a list of GitHub handles for people in our community who could make use of this feature. More technically, I think the way to make that easy and painless would be to add a new entry to the `.asf.yaml` file that would enable maintainers to assign the "triage" role to whoever they see fit. For reference, here's more context on that piece of automation I'd like to latch this onto here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/git+-+.asf.yaml+features FYI, xposting this to general@incubator for their attention.
