There are several things to consider when triaging an issue:

* Is this a duplicate? Search the issue tracker (including closed issues) to
see if there is something similar or identical to what is reported. If it is
obviously a duplicate, write a comment that it is a duplicate of the other
issue, and close the issue. If it isn't obvious that it is a duplicate,
leave a comment asking the author if the other issue covers what they reported.

What about S-needs-rfc?

Anyone is welcome to help at this stage, but it should be clear that it is not yet accepted. However, this should only be tagged for changes that are somewhat likely to be accepted.

Should we include that or adjust its text a bit?

I took out the "likely to be accepted". I didn't realize that and have been tagging things that are RFC scope. I did link out to the instructions on socializing an RFC which kind of fills a similar role of pre-vetting.
