Notification groups

The compiler team has a number of notification groups that used to ping people and draw their attention to issues. Notification groups are setup so that anyone can join them if they want.

Creating a notification group

If you’d like to create a notification group, here are the steps. First, you want to get approval from the compiler team:

• File a tracking issue in the rust-lang/compiler-team repository to collect your progress.
• Create a PR against the rust-lang/team repository adding the notification group (Example PR)
• Configure the rust-lang/rust repository to accept triagebot commands for this group. (Example PR.)))
• Create a PR for the rustc-dev-guide amending the notification group section to mention your group.
• Create a sample PR for the rust-lang/team repository showing how one can add oneself. This will be referenced by your blog post to show people how to join. (Example PR)
• Create a Zulip stream for the notification group. If you don’t have the permission to do, you can ask on #t-compiler/wg-meta.
• Write an announcement blog post for Inside Rust and open a PR against blog.rust-lang.org. (Example PR)
