"Support" team permissions group #54

Closed hyandell closed 5 years ago

hyandell commented 6 years ago

It would be very useful to define a new type of permission level called Support.

It's someone who can close an issue and pull request, but can't touch the code; so no Pull Request merging.

I agree on closing/managing issues, and ambivalent on PR close

Use case: some larger open source projects have volunteers who just handle issue triage. Right now, they must be given commit access to deal with the issues.

I believe this may be similar to https://github.com/todogroup/gh-issues/issues/14. There, I recommended:

While not ideal or a permanent solution, you can currently use protected branches to empower this role in most workflows.

Does the new Triage role fit the bill here?

hyandell commented 5 years ago

I think so.
