docs: define issue priority and pull request triage

Openprivatenumberwants to merge intofrom

Problem

Contributors need to distinguish how urgent an issue is, whose response a PR needs, and whether the project has agreed to maintain the proposed change. The contribution guide defines type and topic labels, but not priority or PR next-step labels.

For example, an author answering a review request should prompt a fresh decision about whose action is next, rather than leave the PR waiting on its author solely because an old request-changes review remains.

Changes

Document a shared triage process in CONTRIBUTING.md:

  • Separate scope agreement, urgency, and the next actor. Triage is not implementation acceptance or a delivery promise.
  • Define p0/p1/p2 priorities and awaiting-review/awaiting-author/blocked PR labels, with drafts preserved and specific requests or blockers recorded.
  • Distinguish review status, check results, release delivery, and verified resolution.

This is a documentation-only proposal for agreement before rollout. It does not create or apply labels, add automation, or promise response times.

Adversarial security (second opinion): 🟢 low

Documentation-only change: a single commit adding triage/priority/PR-label guidance to CONTRIBUTING.md, all plain ASCII with no hidden or non-printable characters, no code, CI, dependency, or install-script modifications, and no new executable, network, or filesystem behavior; the content matches the stated intent and introduces no security-relevant attack surface.

Standard Bash and host portability: 🟢 low

No Bash or host-portability issues; the change is documentation-only.
