[core-workflow] Tracker workflow proposal

[Carol Willing]

I'm wondering if "decision needed" might be more accurately named 
"triage needed"?

Looking at David's well documented proposals and other mail comments, 
"triage needed" more specifically describes the 'state'.

A few thoughts:

1. "Triage needed" would raise the importance and visibility of the 
triage contributor role. A positive for onboarding and growing 
development talent.

2. "Triage needed" is more descriptive and clearer than "decision 
needed" especially for those users that do not read documentation or 
understand the development workflow. "Decision needed" implies that a 
decision will be made to include or not include in a release. 
Realistically, decisions are made throughout the remainder of the 
development process based on time, resources, etc.

Thanks,
Carol
