 3. Determine issue type: This is done with automation where possible, and manually by the owner where necessary. The associated label is applied to the issue.
    #### Possible Issue Types
-   `needs-more-info`: The owner should use the issue to request information from the creator. If we don't receive the needed information within 7 days automation closes the issue.

 4. Determine milestone: The owner, in collaboration with the wider team (PM & engineering), determines what milestone to attach to an issue. Generally, milestones correspond to product releases - however there are two 'magic' milestones with special meanings (not tied to a specific release):
 
-   - Issues assigned to backlog: Our team is in favour of implementing the feature request/fixing the issue, however the implementation is not yet assigned to a concrete release. If and when a `backlog` issue aligns well with our roadmap, it will be scheduled for a concrete iteration. We review and update our roadmap at least once every quarter. The `backlog` list helps us shape our roadmap, but it is not the only source of input. Therefore, some `backlog` items may eventually be closed as `out-of-scope`, or relabelled as `backlog-candidate` once it becomes clear that they do not align with our evolving roadmap.

 5. Promotion of `backlog-candidate` issue to `backlog` issue: If an issue labelled `backlog-candidate` receives more than 30 upvotes within 60 days, we promote the issue by applying the `backlog` label. While issues promoted in this manner have not been committed to a particular release, we welcome PRs from the community on them.
