Before the end of the day, someone is going to make a GitHub app that automatically makes these labels for you.

Had been thinking about a script that will bootstrap a new github repository with relevant labels & milestones (backlog, icebox, etc)

RFC https://github.com/mockturtl/squint#squint

On a related note, I sure wish git supported labels for commits. As it stands I have started to use github-style labels in commit messages, e.g. `:bug:`, which is nice in that github will render these with icons, if supported . Unfortunately that don't have icons for many of the labels one would want to use. I've asked github a half-dozen times to add them, but to no avail :-(

Out of interest, which specific labels are you seeking?

Ours is extremely similar to this though we also have `time-<1hour, time-couplehours, time-halfday, time-day, time-coupledays, time-week, time-weeks` as time estimates on work required

I have requested emojis for `:doc:`, `:test:` and `:admin:` --- those are the main three I tend to use in commits. Some of the lesser ones I've suggested are `:tweak:`, `:major:` and `:minor:`. Thankfully `:bug:` is already supported.
