Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 During 5.6 and 5.7, used `needs-testing-info` to request needed
 information for contributors to do manual testing.

 Questions asked when applying the keyword:

 - What are the steps to reproduce? (i.e. for defects)
 - What are the steps to test?
 - Are there any testing dependencies, such as a plugin or script?
 - What is the expected behavior after applying the patch?

 The answers to these questions help testers whether doing manual testing
 or creating unit tests.

 Why this keyword?

 - Tickets are tagged with `needs-testing`. However, this keyword does not
 indicate if the ticket is in a state to be tested. Adding `needs-testing-
 info` alerts triage, ticket owner, maintainers, and testing team that this
 ticket needs more information and is not yet ready for testing.

 - It also creates a workflow for triage and testing follow-up in order to
 move the ticket closer to resolution.
