Right, that's why I suggested GerritHub or Phabricator as
possibilities for consideration, based on my interpretation of some of
the concerns raised, since they both allow the GitHub repos to remain
the "single source of truth", while adding some additional process
options around them.

However, it sounds like there aren't any current major tooling issues
aside from GitHub's lack of support for a "Triager" level of
permissions, so even the idea of potentially adopting your own
suggested Phabricator+GitHub approach wouldn't rank very high on pip's
process improvement list at this point.

Regards,
Nick.
