Bugs and regression triage and prioritization process

Mek Stittri requested to merge bugs-and-regressions-process into master

This MR aims to simplify the triage process for both ~bug and regression. And a follow up to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/48518

High-level changes

  • Add a Defect section to capture both bugs and regressions.
  • Added a Bugs section with steps on how to triage bugs
  • Clarified and simplified the Regression section and also steps on how to triage regressions.
    • Spell out clearly what is the special regression case for Last recent monthly release and Current release candidates
    • Add examples for the above
  • Introduce the use of regression:xx.x label which will be used by other mechanisms in the release process.
  • Persist regression labels since this label is for categorization and not time bound.

@godfat @rymai @markglenfletcher @ddavison @smcgivern @DouweM @bikebilly lets start with you folks first.
