Enable backup tech writer assignments per stage group; clarify onboarding roles

Marcia Ramos requested to merge tech-writing-assignments into master

What

Multiple technical writers for each stage/group and other subjects.

REVIEW APP: https://tech-writing-assignments.about.gitlab-review.app/handbook/product/technical-writing/#assignments

Why

  • Onboard new tech writers into the review and collaboration processes.
  • Ease the number of reviews for TWs.
  • Have a backup TW for each stage to make it easier to cover for TWs when they're out (vacations, sickness, other temporary leaves).
  • Keep a maintainer assigned as the ultimate person for each stage/group.
  • Have a maintainer backup for temporary leaves of maintainers.
  • It scales.
  • When the primary and backup are already maintainers to the project, we only need them (reducing to 2 tws per stage)

To-dos

  • Make a proposal with an example
  • Discuss the proposal with the team
  • Make a table/sheet with the new grid
  • Finish the implementation
  • Improve the code (get rid of the redundant case condition)
