[teampractices] Keeping track of activity in tasks in phabricator

[Nick Wilson (Quiddity)]

I've recently started to use a Herald rule, to send me a single email (but
not subscribe) when a new task is created (in a project I'm interested in).
This way I can keep track of when people file new tasks.
I can then selectively triage or subscribe to the tasks, as desired.

See setup in this screenshot

Especially that last line "Is newly created = true".
Configure your own rules at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/herald/

(More documentation is at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help/Herald_Rules including the
warning "Please do not create herald rules simply to watch a project.
Herald rules take time to execute which means they make phabricator run
slower for everyone.")

I keep meaning to overhaul my (default) dashboard.
