Currently we have:

• a developer log
• an how to become a core developer pages

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 Machine-parsable developers list #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

   Another thing that should be documented (if it isn't already), is the "Python Triage Membership" requests found at https://github.com/python/core-workflow/issues/new/choose (e.g. python/core-workflow#416).

   Currently it's not obvious if these issues are requesting the addition to someone to the GitHub Triage team, or if it's a request to consider them as potential candidate. It is also not entirely clear who should act on these issues and what should be done.

   As far as I understand:

   • the user has already been accepted as a triager by the team
   • the user must be invited to the python org (if he isn't already part of it)
   • the user must be invited to the python-triage team (this might automatically send an invite to join the org)
   • the mannequins for the user should be reclaimed after they join the org

   I suggest to:

   • document in the devguide that a request should be submitted to the core-workflow repo
   • add a link to this new devguide in the issue template
   • automatically ping people that can invite users/add them to teams/reclaim mannequins
     • by adding a specific label that people can subscribe to
     • by mentioning a team that can do this in the template
     • by automatically assigning the issue to someone (like me)

   I just found out that there is a docs-triagers team too. Maybe they should also be included.
