C# Community Ambassadors

We have been taking a look at #3878, which is around how to help community proposals into better shape to be looked at by LDM. We largely agree with the points raised, which is that most community issues are in a state that isn't quite good enough to be sponsored by an LDT member, but also not controversial or generally discouraged enough to be outright rejected. Our move to enabling discussions on the repo itself was the first step in this direction: discussions are more free-form, allow multiple branching conversations, and we view them as having less requirements towards creating one. The next step we're taking today is nominating a few community members to become ambassadors to the community: @jnm2, @YairHalberstadt, and @svick. This role will be focussed around helping triage incoming issues and discussions, helping community members get their proposals into a state that can realistically be looked at by LDT members and potentially championed, and helping with deduplication as it is noticed. We're starting very small with this experiment: if it proves successful, we can consider expanding the list to more members of the csharplang community, of which there are several deserving candidates. As part of this, we're tentatively hoping to review promising community proposals at a more regular cadence, hopefully monthly.

Community ambassadors are not members of the LDT and do not have the ability to champion issues. They will help us look at deserving community proposals, and we value their input, as we value the input of the general community here.
