Hi All, A big thanks to everyone who supported this idea. It's working out quite well allowing community members contribute further. I'd like to suggest that others who would like the triage permission to boldly request it. It requires community / PMC approval followed by an infra ticket raised on the apache Jira, similar to this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20855 Request and approval can be gotten by shooting out a mail mentioning your GitHub handle in the mailing list, preferably as part of this mail chain to make it easier to pass on a consolidated to the infrastructure team to reduce complications and to speed up the process.
Thanks and happy Triaging!

This exact topic has been discussed at Members level, and this (above) is the current consensus. [sorry I'm not at liberty to share Member's email chains]. However, this hasn't been ratified as an 'official' position, so infra are understandably playing it safe and only giving permissions to named people who have asked and been granted permission by the relevant project. You can see this being actioned by infra here for another project: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20853?jql=project%20%3D%20INFRA%20AND%20text%20~%20%22triage%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC [CloudStack hat back on] I am massive +1 on removing a barrier to people's participation. And whatever controls are eventually deemed appropriate, I'm petty Zen about.

I don't think a trial for a limited set of users makes sense. And I don't think the PMC or committers will be able to control and revert on abuse. we'll need infra for both awarding and retracting.
