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