Hi folks,

Madicken did an *amazing* job with the release (which, I know, hasn't
been big-time announced yet!) this last week.

One of the bigger pain points seems to be the release notes.  I'd like
to propose that we enable two specific Github Actions to make this
easier:

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/enforce-pr-label
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/pr-label-by-files

The first one would be for marking things as bug, docs, tests, new
feature, etc, before merging.  The second one would be to add labels
for PRs based on which files they touch.  I'd like to propose that we
do this so that we can use a tool like:

https://github.com/choldgraf/github-activity

to build out a changelog semi-automatically.

The per-files labels would be just for the frontends -- so that we
could have a label for each frontend, and then in the release notes,
collect changes based on which frontend they applied to.  This way,
we'd have sections for bugs, major features, and then also a
separation based on specific frontends, to make it easier to see what
has changed.

I've issued a PR that sets up the config for the first action -- the
second one would need some modification to our current labels.
Neither action has been "enabled" yet.
