GitHub user Alena0704 created a discussion: [Proposal] Additional labels and a 
label suggestion tool

### Description

I suggest adding a few labels to make issues and PRs easier to browse and 
filter.

## PR availability for issues

It would be useful to see directly in the issue list whether an issue already 
has an associated PR. A `has-pr` label could make this visible without opening 
each issue and allow filtering by PR availability.

Ideally, this label would be applied automatically. We should also agree on how 
to handle it when a PR is closed without merging while the issue remains open.

## Topic labels for issues and PRs

At a minimum, I propose adding:

- `postgres optimizer` — PostgreSQL query optimizer topics; especially it is 
strange that we don't have it since Orca label is available.
- `vacuum` — VACUUM and autovacuum;
- `statistics` — statistics collection and usage, including ANALYZE.

Other potentially useful labels:

- `wal` — write-ahead logging;
- `backup` — backup-related topics.

These labels would help contributors find related issues and PRs by subsystem 
and identify changes relevant to their interests or expertise.

## Label suggestion tool

It could also be useful to introduce a tool that suggests relevant labels based 
on the title and description of an issue or PR.

The tool could recommend existing labels when an issue or PR is opened or 
updated, leaving the final choice to the author or maintainers. This could make 
labeling more consistent and reduce manual work.

## Discussion

- Any suggestions for naming or other missing categories?
- Would a label suggestion tool be helpful, and are there any existing tools we 
could use?

### Use case/motivation

_No response_

### Related issues

The topic of additional labels and automated bug classification has already 
come up in [Discussion #1952 — Continuous SQLancer 
fuzzing](https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/discussions/1952), which proposes 
a `sqlancer` label and classification using `type: Orca` or `planner`.
