[snip my proposal for length]

On reflection I see that in non-technical terms what my 'workflow'
boils down to is answering the famous 5 Ws [and an H] twice and then
making any code change.  So for additional clarity:

* 2. Triage 

   Answer Who? What? Why? Where? When? and How? from the users'
   perspective.  Search on it etc.

* 3. Team Validation 

   Answer Who? What? Why? Where? When? and How? from the code's
   perspective.  Search on it etc.

* 4. Developer Issue

  Pick your own sanity checked, stability oriented patching process &
  let the user know / keep them informed.
