Decide what to do when an issue/MR has several team labels
In #201 (closed), we added stage/group labels based on the team labels of an issue/MR.
We only did that when the issue/MR had a single team label.
We should decide what we want to do in the case an issue/MR has more than one team label:
- Choose the first team label applied?
- Choose the last team label applied?
- Ask the author to pick one?
- Use the "intelligent" inference (using category/feature labels to deduce the stage/group labels)?
- Something else?
Plan
For Create [DEPRECATED], Plan [DEPRECATED], Manage [DEPRECATED] (843)
-
Apply a devops:: label if there is only one of these legacy team label present (63) -
Can category labels be used without Legacy team labels to apply a stage/group label? -
Solicit feedback from Product Managers on arbitrary plan. -
Apply rules for combinations of remaining labels - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ezTC9SsC0PH8ski6BxpufVCpWeynvih6n7XsAzJEUhQ/edit#gid=0 -
Manage [DEPRECATED] + Create [DEPRECATED] = devopscreate (636 Issues) -
Manage [DEPRECATED] + Plan [DEPRECATED] = devopsplan (10 Issues) -
Create [DEPRECATED] + Plan [DEPRECATED] = devopscreate (119 issues) -
Create [DEPRECATED] + Plan [DEPRECATED] + Manage [DEPRECATED] = devopscreate (15 issues) - completed with #399 (comment 293850753)

Record which issues were labelled with the new devops:: labels based on rules -

Affected issues and MRs
Multiple legacy labels present
Number of issues and MRs for CE in the state with multiple legacy label with no stage label present:
| Legacy Label | Number open issues | Number merged MRs | Number open MRs |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~Create | 1111 | 35 | 4 |
| ~Plan | 344 | 23 | 4 |
| ~Secure | 1 | 5 | 0 |
| ~Configure | 8 | 8 | 0 |
| ~Verify | 11 | 13 | 2 |
| ~Release | 7 | 10 | 1 |
| ~Monitor | 1 | 6 | 1 |
| ~Manage | 896 | 17 | 0 |
| ~Package | 2 | 1 | 0 |
Items are counted once for each legacy label they have. For example, an issue with ~Create and ~Plan will be counted in both ~Create and ~Plan tally
This appears to be a much bigger problem for issues where multiple legacy labels are applied.
I think we will need to check these resources to determine the correct stage label to apply, unless we can infer based on other data present such as:
- author (for MRs)
- category labels (for issues)
However, many of these merged MRs are old (we are considering all merged MRs) and the author may have moved to another group since.

Affected issues and MRs
Multiple legacy labels present
Number of issues and MRs for CE in the state with multiple legacy label with no stage label present:
| Legacy Label | Number open issues | Number merged MRs | Number open MRs |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~Manage | 687 | 19 | 0 |
| ~Plan | 155 | 27 | 3 |
| ~Create | 786 | 36 | 3 |
| ~Verify | 4 | 11 | 2 |
| ~Package | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| ~Release | 1 | 8 | 1 |
| ~Configure | 3 | 13 | 0 |
| ~Serverless | 0 | 6 | 0 |
| ~Monitor | 1 | 7 | 0 |
| ~Secure | 0 | 3 | 0 |
| ~Defend | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| ~Growth | 2 | 6 | 0 |
| ~Gitaly | 6 | 41 | 1 |
| ~Gitter | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| ~Distribution | 3 | 6 | 0 |
| ~Geo | 2 | 18 | 0 |
| ~Memory | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| ~Ecosystem | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Note:
- Since groupgitaly is under devopscreate (https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#gitaly-group), the issues/MRs that have ~Gitaly and ~Create can be assigned groupgitaly and devopscreate safely.
- Since ~"group::serverless and paas" is under ~"devops::configure" (https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#serverless--paas-group), the issues/MRs that have ~Serverless and ~Configure can be assigned ~"group::serverless and paas" and ~"devops::configure" safely.
- Some MRs have ~"Category::Continuous Integration", ~"Verify" and another team label. In those cases I think it's safe to assign devopsverify and ~"group::continuous integration".
- Some MRs have ~"Cloud Native", ~"Distribution" and another team label ~"Release". In those cases I think it's safe to assign ~"devops::enablement" and groupdistribution .
