Haha, Aaron could work in marketing - AI solves everything! :P But yeah, a bit more details would be good. As an alternative approach, I'd like to propose a bot that does actions on your behalf. In this case, we could have a bit that listens for comments and (based on a whitelist), it would apply labels if certain contributors commented and requested the labels to be assigned. I know that this still involves manual work, but it would greatly reduce the round trip time since the bot would assign them instantaneously. This means, the only difference for contributors would be to make a comment instead of pressing the "labels" button. Would this solution also be feasible?
