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.
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)
