+Triage
+------
+We appreciate your help keeping the `issue tracker <https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues>`_
+organized because it is our centralized location for feature requests,
+bug reports, tracking major projects, and discussing priorities. Some examples of what
+we mean by triage are:
+
+* labeling issues and pull requests
+* verifying bug reports
+* debugging and resolving issues
+* linking to related issues, discussion, and external work
+
+Our triage process is discussed in detail in :ref:`bug_triaging`.
+
+If you have any questions about the process, please reach out on the
+:ref:`contributor_incubator`
