Description

Currently we have:

As far as I know, there is no equivalent to the developer log for triagers, and there is a section about becoming triagers.

I think we should:

  • Add a triager log (possibly generated by the file proposed in #848)
  • Add a link to the "becoming a core dev" page to the "becoming triager" section, or move both to the same page
  • Improve the documentation on how to become a triager, including steps such as
    • making an official announcement on Discourse
    • adding the new triager to the triagers team on GitHub
    • reclaiming the GitHub mannequin
    • join the Discord server
  • Add links between the developer/triager logs and the "becoming *" section and the other way around

Start by reading the developer log, core developer, and triaging pages linked in the issue, then review the file proposed in #848. Done means the triager log exists, the becoming-triager guidance covers the listed onboarding steps, and the relevant pages link to one another.
