Update Issue Workflow docs for ~"Accepting merge requests" label

Thong Kuah requested to merge tkuah-accepting-merge-request-label into master

What does this MR do?

Clarify what is "happening today" with regards to the ~"Accepting merge requests" label.

  • Vast majority of these issues have the ~"Accepting merge requests" added by the Triage bot
  • Link to the SSOT for the label
  • For vast majority of these issues, the triage policy automatically adds the label and no one adds a weight (12K issues), so remove mention of weights.

Author's checklist (required)

Do not add the feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

When applicable:

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
