This work was not done 100% correctly, please accept my apologies.

I will try to explain why it was not done 100% correctly so we can
decide what we want to do next.

In general, I have found the standard “question” label to be confusing
since different repos in the wild, including Cordova repos, have used
this label in different ways:

* on some repos the “question” label was used to indicate that further
input was needed from the author of the issue
* on some other repos the “question” label was used to indicate that
someone was just asking a question

On those repos where the “question” label was used to indicate that
further input was needed from the user, I took a shortcut and just
changed the label to “info-needed”. I thought this was better than
changing the label on every single issue where more info was needed.

On some other repos I renamed the “question” label to “query”. I think
we need either rename the label again, or completely remove this label
and change the label on all issues affected.

Since I have seen the “question” label used in multiple ways, I now
find it confusing. At this point I would favor that we do not use the
“question” label due to the potential for confusion.

In cases where I renamed the “question” label to “info-needed”, I
would like to propose that we do nothing else since the problem is
already solved.

Over and out.
