Towards a multi-vendor WPT triage process?

Hi all,

At the last TPAC we discussed the problem of WPT issue/PR triage:
https://www.w3.org/2017/11/07-testing-minutes.html#item06

I've put together something roughly in the shape of what I think a
top-level or "fallback" triage process would look like:
https://foolip.github.io/wpt-rotation/

(Based on https://foolip.github.io/ecosystem-infra-rotation/)

My rough idea is that we need something to push things into other labels,
both for issues and PRs, and that if the triage of those labels isn't
working well it all falls apart. That's a big if, because with more
widespread 2-way sync I'd expect it to become *more* difficult to get
review upstream, even if the project as a whole is more active.

Anyway, does something like this look sensible as the top-level triage and
the labels that have to do with the project itself as opposed to individual
test suites? Does is seem plausible that we could get to a state where
these circles are made green on a daily basis, and would that amount to any
real value?

To make this work, I think we'd need to define a multi-vendor rotation
where we take turns doing this work, so this is also a call for volunteers
if that makes sense.

Thanks!
