Cover when to use Herald and when to prefer @Maintenance_bot
Open, MediumPublic

Description

Coming from T108586, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Maintenance_bot/ should probably be mentioned on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help/Herald_Rules (when to prefer what, basically)

See also explanation in T334294#8765784

Event Timeline

For now, Maintanance bot should be always preferred unless there are related to restricted tasks that the bot can not see.

In the long term future the ideal solution is something like T277285: Run non-blocking filters after the edit, as a job (a "job" system) built in Phabricator.
