Looking at Triage Process differently

[IamLizu]

Hi 👋

Express Triager Guide includes the following part,

question: User questions that do not appear to be bugs or enhancements.
discuss: Topics for discussion. Might end in an enhancement or question label.

However, we have GitHub Discussion which seems more appropriate for any question or discussion. I suggest we should move these type of issues in Discussions. And later if that discussion turns out to be something that has to live directly in the Issues, we move back in.

Requesting for thoughts.

I am all for this. Any @expressjs/triagers want to give feedback on this?

[IamLizu]

Thank you for mentioning the team.

In case there's no objection from anyone I would like to create a PR for the new process instructions regarding triage process.

I should wait a few days so that folks from different time zone can catch up.

How does that sound?

[wesleytodd]

Sounds good to me!

[Sushmeet]

Sounds good here too. Thanks for this.

Hi 👋

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am starting to writing the draft.

• docs: specify new instructions for question and discuss #5835

[IamLizu]

Our triage guide says that new issues or PRs will be labeled as needs triage. Does this actually happen?

[IamLizu]

@wesleytodd do you think we should use an action to label every new issue with "needs triage" or "requires triage"?

I think we have a label called "requires triage".

[wesleytodd]

I think we discussed this in the past. I even started this way back then. https://github.com/pkgjs/triagebot

[UlisesGascon]

+1 to add an automation for this :)

[IamLizu]

Okay, I am adding this on my list.

[wesleytodd]

If we want to reclaim that package we can, but it wasnt much and IIRC there was someone else who built a better label action. If we dont think we want to make a general use thing, pkgjs is probably not the right place for it anyway.

[IamLizu]

Now that #5835 has landed, I would like to start cleaning the Issues on expressjs:express. Primarily, we can work on this repository first. Then do the same for other repos.

Do I have the go ahead?

[UlisesGascon]

Yes!
