Nosy-ing the expert
-------------------

Open issues
===========
A current functionality in bpo is to automatically nosy people who are listed
as an expert of certain area. Several Python core developers have expressed that
they prefer not having to subscribe to everything on GitHub, but only getting notified
for issues related to their area of interest and expertise.

Experts index
-------------

At the moment, there is a mechanism to automatically add people in the experts
index to the nosy list. We need to replicate this functionality.
To help with this situation, we can develop a bot that can notify people
whenever an issue has been categorized using labels. For example, when an issue
was labeled with `area-windows`, the windows experts can be notified.
The notification can be in the form of email notification, or @-mention on GitHub.
