Triage process draft

[JasonWeill]

As discussed at the December 8, 2021 JupyterLab meeting, a proposal for triaging issues to ensure that we apply a consistent definition of "Ready" and to prevent issues from remaining open and non-actionable for long periods of time. I welcome your feedback and edits.

This is a follow-on to #90 , which asks about labeling triaged issues.

Thanks @jweill-aws for starting the document.

I would suggest open the PR against the documentation of JupyterLab to store in it the triage process. A good candidate is https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/blame/master/docs/source/developer/contributing.rst#L31

@fcollonval Should I move the triage doc into JupyterLab's docs or should I just mention it in JupyterLab's docs, referring to this file in team-compass?

[fcollonval]

I would move it to JupyterLab's doc to avoid scattering the source of documentation

There are references to both issue & item; was this intended? Should we make this consistent and use "issue" everywhere?

I can use "issue" everywhere, as that's what GitHub uses to describe both bugs and enhancement requests.

Closing in favor of jupyterlab/jupyterlab#11661, which addresses jupyterlab/jupyterlab#11660, in jupyterlab.
