Joining the triagers crew

aiohttp is a busy project. It gets tens of new issues per week reported
sometimes. So maintaining it requires quite a lot of resources. Of course,
the most well-known forms of contribution are code and docs. But that's
not all of it. One of the resources we're lacking is time. And that's
where you come into play!

Helping to triage the incoming issues

You can contribute to the maintenance of aiohttp by simply allocating
some of your free time towards reviewing the incoming issues.
All you need to do is to read-through the incoming issues queue and
decide whether it's actually a bug. Depending on that you could provide
a prompt response where applicable, apply labels or even close invalid
ones.

What exactly should I do?

1. Every once in a while, go through the list of the newest issues.
2. Read each new posting.
3. Apply corresponding labels.
4. Decide whether you can immediately point to a solution/doc/communication channel and do this.
5. Add the needs-info label when more information is requested from a user (it will be automatically closed if they don't respond).
6. Close issues which are no longer relevant or already fixed.

Requesting to join

1. Go to the triagers repo.
2. Fill out the form (create an issue).
3. Wait until you get an invitation to the organization from one of the Core Devs.
4. Start triaging!

Anything else?

You can also opt-in to receive one random issue per day in your
inbox using CodeTriage service. This doesn't require being invited
into the triagers team in this GitHub org.

to our org, hence it's not the same as requesting to join the
team in the GitHub org as described above)
