Valentin Gagarin 6c651599b0 review process: all PRs must be triaged
in order to make the development process more transparent for everyone,
all pull requests should go through the triage process before getting
merged.

this ensures that all team members are aware of what is going on, and
that rationale for decisions is kept track of in the meeting notes for
posterity. (ideally all that should go into the commit history, but this
is a more invasive process change that needs further deliberation.)

having all team members take at least a brief but conscious look at each
change may also help with keeping our quality standards, as more
reviewers are more likely to remind each other of our shared values.
