Review docs for issues and triage bot
There are comments in old issues that never got the triage bot review, that ask what should happen then:
Hey, I saw that issue #198381 got a "VSCodeTriageBot" response and added to the backlog. How do we do that for old issues that existed before the TriageBot? I know it's bad GitHub form, but I'm tempted to re-create this issue (linking to this one) so that we can ping the TriageBot with our votes. I think this vital feature has fallen into a black hole.

Some comments in other issues that mention the triage bot closing the issue without anyone revisiting it and reading the new comments for consideration:
@bpasero I think you should train your Tiragebot better. Closing this without acknowledging any of the later comment seems questionable

As well as a comment raised by me in this same issue questioning what happens when an issue is closed and then later gets to the 20 up-votes mark:
What happens now that it has already gained more than those 20 upvotes? Does it need a new mark? Will this not be considered then? If someone else wants this feature should they forget about it or should they create a new one? Those are not clear to me. Is there some place where these questions are documented (like a FAQ or something)?

Also, the docs mentioned by the triage bot don't ever say anything related to any of those things.
Summary
I guess that the questions here would be:
- What happens with old opened issues that never got the triage bot review?
- What happens to issues closed that people are still interested in? Should they get a new mark of up-votes or be recreated (I agree with @J-Sorenson and consider this a bad GitHub behaviour)?
I'm not sure this is the exact place for this, but if it isn't please let me know where it would fit.
