SIG-Scheduling: better issue management

[sanposhiho]

Describe the issue

/cc @kubernetes/sig-scheduling-leads

We should improve SIG Scheduling (view) to prioritize tasks better.
Also, we should try triaging issues if we find them worthy to be worked on, at least.

What I'd like to see in the kanban board:

• Prioritization between triaged tasks
• Easy way to find the tasks that no one has taken a look (= awaiting the decision of whether triage it or not)
• Easy way to classify the PRs that are awaiting the first review and the ones that are awaiting the final reviews.

I'm not sure if all are feasible. Just spreading the ideas.

Anything else that might be good to have on Kanban board? @dom4ha @macsko

Started to triage issues from the newer ones... But, there's a lot 😅

Some thoughts:

• Prioritization between triaged tasks: Very first thing that we can do is using important-longterm etc labels, but I guess it's too rough? Other option is having a custom priority field with the number on the board, and sort the issues by it on Kanban. But, maybe that's a bit troublesome. We need to figure out what would fit us the most.
• Easy way to find the tasks that no one has taken a look (= awaiting the decision of whether triage it or not): We can list the issues that has need-triage label. But, among need-triage issues, there's some other kinds like need to discuss before triaging or not, need more information, etc. We can use triage/needs-information, I think. (Looks like we don't have triage/needs-discussion.
  • So, when the first contributor takes a look at an issue that no one has reacted yet, he/she has to add either triage/accepted or triage/needs-information.
• Easy way to classify the PRs that are awaiting the first review and the ones that are awaiting the final reviews." We can list the issues that don't have lgtm and approve issue vs the ones that have either of them.

TODO:

• make a documentation page about this issue management
• make a change in the dashboard
• close old (unimportant) issues

@sanposhiho happy to help in this effort.

@helayoty Yes, please!
Do you have a permission to edit SIG Scheduling (view)? The above my thought should be a good starting point for the enhancement.
