Allow to add fallback if no label match occurs

Describe the solution you'd like Abe able to pass fallback if the is no match for label when opening PR/issue (default label can be need_triage or something like that

Hi folks, how about the following syntax:

{
   labels:{},
   pr : {},
   pr_fallback : "", // name of label to fallback, eg. needs triage
   issue: {},
   issue_fallback : "" // name of label to fallback, eg. needs triage
}

I would suggest to not set any fallback label if not explicitly specified.

pr_fallback : "", // name of label to fallback, eg. needs triage

Do you think it should be one label or an Array ?

Also I wonder if apart of config we do not want some flag in yml to disable fallback as well. I think about the use case when I do not want to change config but e.g temporary disable fallback

Array seems to be more reasonable and future proof, you are right. Regarding the second sentence, I'm not sure if it is really needed

I don’t think this is necessary - it doesn’t seem like a very common scenario, and since the config is checked into the repo it’s easy to revert it after a temporary change. I think having configuration specified in multiple places would increase complexity too much.

Array seems to be more reasonable and future proof, you are right.

Agreed 👍
