Deletion candidates:

[x] Admin: drop-candidate (0/1)
[x] duplicate (0/1) -> when duplicate is encountered this can be cleaned right away
[x] Feature: shortcuts (2/0) -> no other "Feature: *" and two is not much
[x] MEI support (1/0) -> only one; and title can say this #311
[x] Status: fixed (0/3) -> when fixed, issue can be closed
[ ] Status: needs decision (1/2) -> assign and mention people
[ ] Status: needs discussion (2/0) -> assign and mention people
[ ] Status: needs evaluation (2/0) -> assign and mention people
[x] Status: wontfix (0/0) -> no issue and could be just closed

Concept for labels:

there can be a (rather small) number groups of labels, in this case Area, Status, Type, View
there can be a (rather small) number of free labels which are not part of a group, in this case bugfix, high priority
labels of one group have similar color tone (brightness), and same font color
colors of labels can reflect meaning, importance, complexity but don't have to - in this case only red is used for a small number of labels to indicate their importance

I always think, GitHub makes it a bit complicated to structure labels because they are used both, for issues and pull requests. For example (at least from my point of view) a "bug report" should be a label for an issue, while "bugfix" should be a label for pull requests.

@daniel-jettka what do you mean with cleaning-up a "duplicate"?

bwbohl commented 1 month ago

I did the following cleanups:

remove "View: *" labels -> added the view name as prefix in the issue title
rename "bugfix" label to "Type: bugfix" and added a description
remove "high priority" label and added the priority in the Edirom Development project

I think for now we can live withe the current labels. Future work will show how they are being used and whether some of them would better be managed with custom fields in the project or with prefixes in the issue or pull request title.
