Keep older support issues moving without overloading the team.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

Review long-waiting unassigned support issues alongside previously resolved work to suggest a teammate with relevant experience. Consider current workload and surface the reasons for a proposed match, then require a support lead to approve the assignment and any accompanying comment before the issue is changed or a message is posted.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

What this workflow could do

Helps a support team notice issues that have been waiting and consider a balanced next owner.

Review points proposed in this idea

Past issue history may not reflect current expertise or availability, and workload estimates can be incomplete. Keep recommendations advisory, let a support lead verify team context, and require approval before changing an issue’s owner or posting any comment, with the exact wording and audience checked first.
