First iteration of priorities for People Group Engineering

Lien Van Den Steen requested to merge triaging-system-pops into master

Why is this change being made?

As the team and the need for People Tools is maturing, we need a better system to triage based on the priority of issues. This is a first iteration of doing so. Once this is approved, I will have a look at our current issues and label them. I deliberately kept it within 5 levels of priority, as I think more will make it overly complicated (and that's also following the way GitLab engineering does it for the product).

Note, this goes hand-in-hand with an update on the new issue template, which you can find here. The changes on that template include:

  • a checkbox for compliance
  • guided questions to know the impact on the company and on time
