KBach triaged this task as Medium priority.
KBach moved this task from Next to In progress on the Tech-Docs-Team board.

We have agreed on a process to use for requesting reviews and consultations. I will document this process and add the relevant information where needed.

This is still in progress, though it's now slightly lower priority than T371670: Identify documentation tools and processes used by the Wikimedia Movement. I'll continue working on this task once T371670 is done.

With the approach agreed upon by the team, I have added the relevant sections and links to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Documentation_Team.

We will accept documentation review and consultation requests as tasks in Phabricator using the Tech-Docs-Team tag. I have prepared two task templates to simplify the request process: consultation request, review request.
