Define a process to involve the community triaging and promoting architecture RfCs
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently the Architecture Committee meets and decides which RfCs to poke and to schedule. They will continue to do so, but we should document a process for other community members to chime in, help triaging, and help scheduling RfCs.

(I switched this process issue from Architecture to ArchCom)
The new RFC process document covers some of this:

5 Discuss your idea over email, in comments on the Phabricator task, on IRC, on your RFC's talk page, and audio/video/in-person. Have an email trail on wikitech-l and link to or archive any offwiki discussion in the Phabricator task.
6 When you've got received some feedback and addressed it, you can formally ask for your RFC to be considered by the Architecture committee (next section)
...

  • A developer can move RFC task from the blocked/stalled/draft column to "under discussion" when she believes it's ready for discussion
    • you must always accompany these board moves with a comment "I believe this RFC is ready", "I would like discussion of this in next RFC office hour", etc.

This covers "help scheduling" and a little bit of "help triage". I'm declaring victory.
