Update Dev on-call eligibility criteria to include (back) parts of Expansion Development

James Lopez requested to merge jameslopez-main-patch-2c9e into main

Why is this change being made?

As a result of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/business-technology/enterprise-apps/financeops/finance-systems/-/issues/1620+, ~100 engineers were removed from the Development on-call rotation and only Core Development remained participant.

After some quick analysis, this is a proposal to bring parts of Expansion Development back to being on-call (as they previously were), so there should not be any real changes.

TODO after merge

  • After this is discussed and merged, we will still have to make the change in our on-call automations for it to take effect.
  • Pipelines in the automation project and pagerslack will need to be re-triggered
  • Extra 👀 check that the spreadsheet is now back to ~200 engineers and not ~100
