Adding type::ignore label to exclude Issues from type nudges
What does this MR do and why?
Based on suggestions, feedback, and to respect our communication guidelines regarding issues, the Next-prioritization working group proposed creating a new type::ignore
label. Applying this label to an Issue in the gitlab-org
namespace will cause it to be skipped by the type-labeling nudge from the GitLab bot. This MR implements the skipping behavior. It also adds clarifying text to let users know about this new option.
Expected impact & dry-runs
These are strongly recommended to assist reviewers and reduce the time to merge your change.
Dry-run test results:
- I have created this test issue before triggering the following dry-runs against the
gitlab
project:
- Leave the test issue without any label:
- https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/triage-ops/-/jobs/2840885443
-
gitlab-org/gitlab#370406 is one of the targeted resources (searching
370406
in the stacktrace returns the following:)
# https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/370406
:wave: @jennli, please add a [type label](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/contributing/issue_workflow.html#type-labels) and a [subtype label](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/metrics/#work-type-classification) to this issue
to help with better milestone planning and [issue discovery in issue reports](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#group-level-bugs-features-and-ux-debt).
If you do not feel the purpose of this issue matches one of the types, you may apply the `type::ignore` label to exclude it from type tracking metrics and future prompts.
