 Notes from
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C03B0H5J0/p1627997757064300 last
 week's team chat]:

 Process:

 - Human tester does the manual testing steps
 - Tooling records those steps
 - Tooling converts the steps into e2e test code
 - Test code is attached to the ticket
 - Code is reviewed by a human is skilled in e2e tests and the thing under
 test
 - Once approved, a core committer commits the test code into the project
 - Skilled e2e test humans maintain the tests (including tuning and
 refinement)

 Pilot initiative:

 - Build a prototype -> @lucatume is working on this
 - Start small with a handful of impactful e2e tests
 - Get those tests stable
 - Learn
 - Iterate

 Changing ownership to Luca for the prototype. And moving it into the 5.9
 milestone.
