Prefix GitHub labels to group them?
Something the Rust project does is prefix all their labels with a single letter to have alphabetical sorting keep similar labels together. For instance, using the "T - " prefix to group all type-related label like bugfix, enhancement, etc. This is all done to make it easy to find all labels for a certain thing. Do people like this idea for labels that don't naturally have a common prefix? If so would people want the single letter prefix or full word prefixes?
My vote is on full word prefixes (small words where and when possible)

coala uses full word prefixes for type, size, importance, and difficulty. https://github.com/coala/coala/labels And has a bot that auto labels when the suffixes are used in the issue/PR message. On Sat, 27 May 2017 05:48 Usman Ehtesham <uehtesham90@gmail.com> wrote:

We have such a convention in mypy too. GitHub.com/python/mypy/labels.

I have gone ahead and added appropriate prefixes. Thanks for the feedback everyone! On Fri, 26 May 2017 at 17:52 Guido van Rossum <gvanrossum@gmail.com> wrote:

Maybe the prefixes can be similar to how Falcon uses types in its commit messages: https://github.com/falconry/falcon/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#type <https://github.com/falconry/falcon/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#type>
