For taxon changes that require staff, how do we actually pass them off to staff?

When a taxon change to a taxon with more than 200,000 observations has consensus to be implemented, how do we actually request for it to be implemented? Is there some designated staff person for us to ping or some other workflow we’re supposed to follow in those cases? I couldn’t find any documentation about this.

On the taxon page, there’s a dropdown menu titled “Curation” – on that menu, there’s a spot to “Flag for Curation”

I’m talking about changes that already have flags and the discussion in the flag has consensus to move forward, but the action can’t be taken because it requires staff priviledges.

I would email staff and/or tag loarie.

Yeah, I suggest tagging or messaging loarie.

I tried pinging @loarie, but no response. Is anyone else able to help with such requests?
