GitHub Label List
We use GitHub labels to perform issue triage, track and report on development progress, plan roadmaps, and automate issue grooming.
To ensure that contributing new issues and PRs remains straight-forward, we would like to keep the labels required for submission to a minimum. The remaining labels will be added either by automation or manual grooming by other contributors and maintainers.
The labels in this list originated within Kubernetes at https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/blob/master/label_sync/labels.md.
