- Retiring the SME role in favor of the GitHub Editors group
- The team has tried using the SME role for two tasks: vetting content topics and assisting content creators. We've not seen SMEs vet content topics in a while. And assisting content creators can be done in an editor capacity. To simplify team roles and remove friction, team reps recommend removing the SME role and relying on the GitHub Editors group instead. What do folks think?
