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.
