This provides a number of updates to our team support process, pulling in content from our support draft document as well as conversations with @damianavila and @consideRatio after their latest support steward experiences.

It makes a few changes to the support process itself:

  • adds the notion of a Support Team, and suggests that 2 people should be on this team at once.
  • increases the Support Steward tenure to 4 weeks instead of 2 weeks (so every 2 weeks we transition one Support Steward on the 2-person team)
  • suggests that we use a persistent GitHub issue that lists the current Support Team, and we can just update this over time as team membership changes

Feedback

I'd love feedback in particular from @damianavila and @consideRatio since many of these ideas came from conversations with them. I also haven't had a chance to debrief with @GeorgianaElena yet but would love her thoughts on whether there's anything we should add or change here!

This is connected with [the 2i2c FreshDesk account](https://2i2c.freshdesk.com/), and is a central place for all support-related requests.

Many requests may be immediately resolved via a quick action or response to the community representative.
However, if a request requires consultation with the team, open a backlog issue.

## Lifecycle of a support request

- When you receive a ticket, communicate that you have received it and note the next steps you’ll follow to resolve it (even if this just means investigating because you're not sure what is wrong).
- If needed, open a [support issue and add it to the backlog](support:issues).

There's one thing that I've been asking myself. Should we link the people opening support tickets to the relevant GitHub issues?

What do you think? I can see an argument both ways. If we gave a link to the issue then:

  • PRO: there is more visibility and maybe more efficient communication since they could participate directly in the issue where work is being done.
  • CON: we've now got two communication channels with the person for this incident - one in FreshDesk and one in GitHub. Moreover we're not guaranteed that their communication in GitHub will actually be helpful...

Nop... if people are interested enough they will find the issue and jump into it, but our canonical tunnel should be Freshdesk!

OK I took another pass and addressed each of @damianavila's comments above! I'm going to merge this one so that I can open an issue to add @sgibson91 to the support steward team. I am happy to iterate on this content more in another PR if people have more suggestions!
