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 :-(

Bookmarked. The comment about a lack of reading material for this type of thing rings very true. I would say most will probably want to custom tailor their tags a bit at some point but this is a great guide nonetheless.

Great stuff. I personally find it useful to have an additional "Regression" label to tag bug reports that have cropped up as a result of new work (this happens surprisingly often).

This seems like a great system. I may have to try and get some of ${DAYJOB}'s repos to using this scheme.

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

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

Unfortunately, tags are inadequate when we're dealing with possibly mutually exclusive classifications.
