Then we should file a suggestion improvement on JIRA's JIRA. This is extremely useful for us and for our users.

-> We'll ask the subcons doing JIRA admin to get https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugins/org.openmrs.jira.plugins.autowatchjira installed in the Sandbox and test if it is suitable for this task.  That should provide a sustainable option.

Unless someone objects, please consider this a request to do what's necessary for that to happen.

That was the discussion on how to have a triage team. I don't see the need to create a new category for them nor for attending my request, given that option
#2 is available.

I created a task for at least two people to whom I tried to assign a task and couldn't. I think those are the people who were nominated as approvers and maintainers at bootstrap, not via email to the list.

-> Done.
