🚀 enhancement

Update or improvement to an existing feature

❔ question

Further information is requested from the author

Deleted as it seems that this is no longer used for intended purpose (indicating that the triager has a question for the author). Some issues use it to indicate “discovery” but we should just use the discovery label for that. We can always add this label back later.

✔️ requirement

Condition that must be met for a project or MVP

I’ve removed this from the list as it seems unused.

⭐ feature

Addition of new functionality

DEPR

Proposal for deprecation & removal. See OEP-21

⛔ wontfix

This will not be worked on

🖨️ duplicate

This issue or pull request already exists

👥 waiting on author

PR reviewers are waiting on the author to answer questions, fix tests, etc.

Waiting for the author to respond to change requests, feedback, failing tests, etc. Usually this label is used for PRs in board statuses other than “Waiting for Author” (e.g. the pull request is “In Eng Review” column on the board, but the author needs to address review feedback).

👥 inactive

PR author has been unresponsive for several months

Used when the author has been unresponsive for several months. Typically author will be told “we might need to close this due to inactivity” and if there’s still no response we close it a couple weeks later.

👥 closed-inactivity

PR was closed because the author abandoned it

Closed due to PR being abandoned. Typically used after a PR has been abandoned and labeled as “inactive.”

👥 needs test run

Author’s first PR to a repository, awaiting test authorization from tCRIL

This means an author has not contributed to a particular repo before and needs authorization to be able to run tests on the PR. Currently, test authorization is handled by tCRIL.

👥 core contributor

PR author is a Core Contributor to this repository (manually added)

Currently manually applied on the Contributions board to flag to project managers that a CC is the author.

👥 open-source-contribution

PR author is not from tCRIL or 2U

Automatically added by bot to PRs coming from the community (not tCRIL or 2U).

👥 blocked by other work

PR cannot be finished until other work is complete

Notating that the PR is blocked. It should say in the PR why the work is blocked (e.g. waiting to merge a related PR first).

👥 changes requested

PR reviewers are waiting on author to apply feedback

A reviewer or reviewers have taken a look at the PR and requested the author make changes.

Deleting; we will use “Waiting on Author” instead. We should notify Michelle and Tim when this change happens so that they can update the board.

👥 product review

PR requires product review (= it won’t be merged without review and approval from a product manager).

Jenna Makowski / Ryan O’Connell will add this label to PRs labeled “open-source-contribution” that require Product Review.
