Do not add auto-deploy labels by default

Anastasia McDonald requested to merge a_mcdonald-master-patch-80990 into master

What does this MR do?

At the moment, we apply auto-deploy labels with our Quarantine End to End template as a default. While it can be useful for emergencies, i.e. if deployments are blocked, in other cases it will cause unnecessary delays to all other deployments as it will be prioritised in the queue.

This MR removes applying of the labels by default and replaces it with a manual check instead, so that the decision can be made by an MR author on a case by case basis.

NB corresponding changes to the handbook to clarify when to use auto-deploy labels will be added in a follow-up MR.

Author's checklist

If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"feature"
  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
