Normalize and document Feature/Topic/Subject Labels
Problem to solve
The label documentation mentions Subject
labels: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/development/contributing/issue_workflow.md#subject-labels but it currently mixes feature and category labels. We need to clarify this.
For the distinction between Category and Feature, see https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#hierarchy
Also, there is no official naming/color convention for these labels.
NB: There is a dedicated proposal to normalize category labels: #245 (closed), this issue focuses on feature labels.
Proposal:
-
Naming convention Feature: Feature with Spaces And Capital Letters as Desired
-
No scoped labels (mutual exclusion). -
Color #69D100
Once we agree on the convention, tasks list:
-
update the docs to replace subject labels
withFeature labels
and clean it up from any category labels. -
update the labels according to the naming convention and color -
update the scripts/automation -
communicate broadly
