Update handbook to use dedicated review tickets for Core Contributors [MNG-2500]

Braden MacDonald requested to merge cocom-process-revision into master

This updates our handbook and the overall process for getting Core Contributor reviews. It creates a separate ticket for each Core Contributor PR review that needs to happen.

This is slightly more overhead (in terms of JIRA complexity) than using the same ticket and a dedicated "CC Review" status. However, it has some significant advantages:

  • The Core Contributor can now explicitly reserve time in their sprint for the review
  • Core Contributors now use the same process (create a ticket) to plan their work whether it's for internal PR reviews or external contributions.
  • It will be possible for the first time to tell how much time each Core Contributor is spending on Core Contributor work each sprint/month, and make it much easier to plan out enough work per sprint to meet the 20h/month goal.

In order to make this simpler to do, I have created a bookmarklet that makes it really easy to create a CC review ticket. As a Core Contributor, you just browse to the issue that you plan to review and then click the "Create CC Review" bookmark, and a new JIRA ticket will be auto-generated with the correct epic, account, assignee, and link to the main issue.
