Is it useful to know all the labels available/used in a given repository? #23

Closed nelsonic closed 9 years ago

Is worth having a list of all the labels used in a repo?

e.g: https://github.com/dwyl/tudo/labels is (currently) only using the "standard" labels.

github-dwyl-tudo-labels-list

Whereas the RethinkDB (which uses GitHub for all their project tracking) uses several custom labels: https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/labels

github-rethinkdb-issues-list

Storing the labels as a separate hash with the color/styles and the number of open issues will mean we only have to store the label text in our issues (list) crawler.

Agreed, this is also what seems sensible to me.
