We have an RFC process "to get to consensus faster and ultimately get to
execution faster". But I think in general folks tend to only do an RFC for
a "big" change. Bug tickets, and particularly feature tickets are left as a
gray area.

A google search for "most successful open source project" lists Apache
Cassandra at the top. When a bug is submitted to the Cassandra Jira it
starts in the TRIAGE NEEDED state. Ostensibly after triage, it moves to the
OPEN state which is described as:

| "the issue is open and ready for the assignee to start work on it."

I think introducing a starting state like TRIAGE NEEDED in the Geode Jira
system, and instituting a (gating) triage process would be a good way to
keep the Geode architecture cohesive and also to maximize the impact of our
contributor's efforts.

Perhaps that triage process would be run by code owners in the area(s)
affected by the ticket (bug or feature).
