It's not possible. “Apply labels and milestones” needs write access [1]. If we want distributed labeling distinct from GitHub, I'm a fan of nmbug [2], which tags email. However, shifting to an email-based workflow would be a big shift for SWC. Still, maybe it's too late to be pushing back against closed-source services like GitHub for this project ;).
