The trusted triage team doesn't do anything extra - they just have increased authority in the triage process. The triage docs tell you to "be conservative in your actions"; the triage team has been explicitly given permission to be a little less conservative on the basis of their track record. This also means that their decisions carry a little more weight. For example, if a triage team member marks a ticket as wontfix, that shouldn't be reversed by a general community member without a discussion on django-dev. However, point taken -- that section of the docs could do with some clarification. The role of the triage team is a little vague at the moment. We should also be a little more clear on who is on the triage team (I don't think we have publicly acknowledge them by name anywhere at the moment).
