My "WMF TechOps" term was a slightly inaccurate way of describing the "Ops" column in this table: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/System_administrators> A relevant part to quote: "The Wikimedia Foundation <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation> legally controls the servers; ultimately the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Board_of_Trustees> is responsible for determining who has *sysadmin* access, and how that responsibility is exercised. However, this power is delegated to various Wikimedia Foundation managers <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Staff_and_contractors>. On a day-to-day basis, various system administrators with root or shell access manage the server clusters." > Perhaps we should try to come up with more fine-grained labels for RfCs, > rather than labelling them all "ArchCom RfCs"?

Per T123606 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T123606>, I would *love* for working groups to assume a lot of the earlier drafting/workflow aspects of things, and Phab labels for that would be great. I think we need to agree on the working groups we want (see T124504 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124504>) before we start on the administrative detail of what tags we want.
