Note that GitHub (and I think GitLab too) provides two additional ways to categorise issues: project boards, and milestones.

I think together with labels this may simulate current b.p.o. structure to certain extent. For example (approximately):

* We can have milestones for releases (including past releases)

* We can have "project boards" (slightly abusing this feature): new, triaged, PR review

* Labels can be grouped using name prefix and color, for example (we have similar structure in mypy):

- priority-low

- priority-normal

- priority-etc...

- kind-bug

- kind-docs

- kind-feature

- topic-asincio

- topic-etc..

This is still quite limited, but together with bots this can practically replace current categorisation.
