I also think it may be helpful for labels that are manually managed stand out in some way - perhaps a prefix or different shades of a specific color. That way, a core dev could easily visually filter for any labels they may need to change or care more about for a PR.

A couple of years ago, I completely agreed that the labels were distracting when we were using them on Jupyter. Over time, I found that they were very helpful for triaging issues and viewing status/next actions when you have a large number of PRs.

One thing that I found helped quite a bit with the Christmas tree effect was to standardize the color scheme to either all black lettering on muted color or all white lettering on bright color.

I think this is going to be the key: choosing a deliberately muted display appearance for any informational labels that are intended primarily as search aids rather than as things to pick up on a quick visual scan of the full PR list.

Cheers,
Nick.
