> +* Grant maintainer and triager roles to contributors. Nominations can be 
> from contributors and/or current maintainers, and are discussed and agreed

+* Other administrative work, including changing some project settings (like 
enabling CI workflows)
+
+To become eligible for the maintainer role, contributors should show a 
consistent history of quality in their pull requests, a history of helping 
other people when reviewing code, and a history of providing actionable 
guidance to other contributors.
+
+## Triagers
+
+The primary goal of the triagers is to reduce the need for maintainers to 
manage issues and pull requests.
+
+This goal can be achieved by keeping the issues list small, each issue on 
topic, and discussions focussed and productive. Anyone in the community can 
help with most of this work. However, triagers have extra permissions that can 
help in certain situations.
+
+These additional permissions allow triagers to:
+
+* Close any issue. This can include duplicate issues, off-topic issues, spam, 
etc
+* Add labels to any issue. This can help highlight bugs, pull requests that 
need changes, etc
+* Hide any comment. This can be useful for off-topic conversations like issue 
assignment

It does make me wonder about the tradeoffs in giving people the 
somewhat-restricted "github triage" role, compared with what we'd be happy with 
our triagers being able to do. But maybe that's a discussion for another time, 
and this PR should just reflect the status-quo
