Different companies have different processes.

But for obvious reasons usually developers get evaluated by current
or past developers, project managers by current or past project
managers and architects by current or past architects. Hard to
evaluate technical skills one does not have self.

But that has nothing to do with the fact that tech stack decisions
is an architecture matter and not a project management matter.
