Aklapper added a comment. "Triagers" seems to mean "Advanced users" now in our context so while I liked trying the original idea, the meaning has eroded a bit. To summarize again, the main idea was to simplify the interface for users but the disadvantages (T576) are obvious now so **I'd also lean towards killing #Triagers for the time being**. So let's open up.
As Mukunda wrote in T576, "If we want to **hide something for the sake of form simplicity** then we should look into simply hiding it rather than adjusting permissions based on project. I could surely come up with a fairly simple way to streamline the default form while leaving the permissions untouched and also leaving the edit form alone for advanced users to poke at." Wondering which criteria we could base a "display: none" CSS hack on (or such) for the Priority and Assignee fields. I've seen three Bugzilla instances with custom code which link to a "guided bug entry form" with less complexity by default (and offering the normal bug entry form with all fields as 'advanced' instead). That's done by either looking up in the user database whether a user has only recently registered in the issue tracker, or checking for missing 'editbugs' group membership (which we don't have as such in Phabricator). Refering to a strict understanding of triagers in the sense of a Bugsquad and **social aspects** brought up: I reached out ~18m ago to some active Wikimedia triagers, trying to resurrect https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_Bug_Squad. I learned that folks do not want to officially become part of such a project because it could create expectations on their activity. If you find a different spin, please share it... I've seen other FOSS organizations but I'm not aware of any really trying to institutionalize membership in a Bugsquad or Triage Team. Most of the time only heads of such teams are defined (via meritocracy), if at all. >>!

That wish (enforcing certain social behaviors via technical implementations) was also brought up by at least two PMs in Bugzilla, being a bit tired of Priority field and reopen edit wars. I don't see any obvious improvement with regard to that specific problem, comparing Bugzilla and Phabricator currently, however many of such edit wars are also related to personal communication styles of involved people IMHO.
