Update leads questions process for labels (#1995)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Separately working on labeling everything and filing tracking issues as discussed.

For project columns, the result is:

"Blocking issues" -> gone, we haven't been using it
"Questions" -> "leads questions" label, open: https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/issues?
q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22leads+question%22
"Resolved" -> "leads questions" label, closed: https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+label%3A%22leads+question%22+
"Needs proposal" -> file a tracking issue, remark on the linked issue
"Deferred" -> add the "long term" label: https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22leads+question%22+label%3A%22long+term%22

Note the "long term" label overlaps with the automation that reminds people when we're inactive, so it's two birds, one stone.

This is part of #1898
