Heh, have written a GitHub feature request about this ~2 weeks ago, got answer "we are already working on this, going to be release soon". Have been eagerly awaiting announcement since then.

This can be very useful for improving pull request review process. I think we should not duplicate PR labels based on metadata from bugzilla and instead focus on traits useful for actual reviewing and PR categorizing (not related issue categorizing).

"DDMD" label for dmd repo is one good example - it does not have linked issues and need to be easily queried because of high priority of DDMD.

One useful label I can imagine for both DMD and Phobos repos is "need-decision" that will mark pull requests blocked until someone with authority decides if actual semantics of a change are to be accepted or rejected. That way Andrei and Walter will have a quick list of pull requests to pay special attention to (that no one else can proceed with)

At the same time I recommend avoid creation of many arbitrary label tags as those are only useful for searching pull requests if you know what labels to look for. Pure description tags give nothing over few lines of comments in PR text.
