I just started a project, and wanted to create labels. GitLab was kind enough to recommend a default set;

  • bug
  • confirmed
  • critical
  • discussion
  • documentation
  • enhancement
  • suggestion
  • support

And to be honest, I don't like the selection. To list a few reasons:

  1. if one choses to create a critical label, it should be a prioritised label.
  2. It has both suggestion and enhancement, while I like ~"feature proposal" better, to replace the both of them
  3. It has both bug and confirmed. Given only team members can label, the meaning should be the same. I would say, remove confirmed.
  4. I don't really see the difference between discussion and suggestion either.
  5. The label names should be Capitalized
