From 6b4c1e5f851a447b6c66b8f13ef6ae11b2adf3fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafael Vuijk Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 13:17:28 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/10] The issue templates set the native issue type, and CONTRIBUTING.md says what a type is and what a label is A bug report is a Bug and an idea is a Feature by type, not by the `Proposal` label the template used to attach; a question has no type, since it is not a work item, and keeps its label. CONTRIBUTING.md's "Types of issues" says which is which: the type is the kind of thing an issue is, the labels its state -- Accepted, Not now, Opinions wanted, up-for-grabs -- and its area. No workflow reads a label. Part of #1383.

So the question template goes, a goal template comes first with the bar set as low as it can be, the template chooser points questions and ideas at the Discussions categories, CONTRIBUTING.md says which is which, and the working practice sweeps Discussions beside the two comment endpoints every round. The migration of the existing issues -- the type rename at the organisation, a type for every issue, the type labels off, the open questions redirected -- is .github/additional/migrate-issue-types.sh, dry by default.

A claim older than a day with no open pull request linked is stale; a pull request that says Part of #n is the claim for as long as it is open; an issue that is several pull requests' worth of work is split into sub-issues claimed one at a time, since a checklist tick has no timestamp. The migration script removes the organisation's Task type once no issue carries it, which is now, since a goal is untyped and Task was the unassigned state written twice. Part of #1383.
