Triagers team #37628
Description
We have a triagers team, currently containing two members @PoojaDurgad and @RaisinTen - both of which are already collaborators (but were not when they joined the team).
Is that team still required given its members are collaborators with permissions/access to triage? Should we outreach to other contributors and ask them to apply for membership?

cc @nodejs/issue-triage (though both members are already pinged :))

retaining the team makes sense to me for a role definition and place holder for future triage work . For the two members, I will leave it up to their decision.
+1 to reaching out to new members who are interested to become traigers!

I'm not very sure about this.
Currently, after a nomination is successful, contributors are directly promoted to the role of a collaborator. So, the only way one could become a traiger now is to open a PR asking for the role and get accepted, which doesn't seem to happen a lot.
Should we update the nomination procedure in a way that the contributor first gets the role of a triager and then after a period of time, they get promoted to the role of a collaborator?

so the role is still relevant, and the project can benefit with triaging. we could strive to get new folks.

In that case, I'm +1 on keeping the team.

I would continue doing triaging

Most collaborators don't triage, they contribute in mostly other ways - the number of people I see triaging issues is maybe 10-20% of the collaborator base.
Collaborators do however have all the powers to triage (and more) in the repo.
I think it makes sense (but I don't feel strongly about it) to not have @PoojaDurgad and @RaisinTen as traigers in the team since they are collaborators - instead maybe "promote" them to "manage" the team with @gireeshpunathil and encourage others to become collaborators?

We seem to have a larger triagers team now so I think this can be closed. But I also don't see anything in the docs about how someone might nominate themselves for a triager role, so maybe that's a gap to fill? (Or maybe it's there and I'm just not seeing it?)

Oh, I see it now, it's in the contributing guide. I think this can be closed now. Feel free to comment or re-open if I'm wrong about that!
