Related roles

A separate role (namely, 'Triage Manager') would be assigned to one who actively handles the triage management aspects of data.table. Responsibilities that fall under this specialized role can include, but are not restricted to:

• Tagging new issues appropriately.
• Prioritizing PRs and issues to be worked on, with a focus on user-needs, breaking changes, and shared concerns amongst the developers and active contributors.
• Cherry-picking features and fixes to include for the release next in line.
• Assisting in issue contributions from new users (such as reducing the length of a reproducible example or making it minimal, or even simpler takes such as suggesting the use of a reprex).
