Hi Paul, My 2 cents on the topic.
people are commenting on issues when it should by the PR and vice-versa > I think this is simply due to the fact that with one login you can do both, versus before you had to have a JIRA login which people might have tried to avoid, preferring using github directly, ensuring the conversation will only be on the PR. Most of the issues in Jira didn't have any conversation at all. But I do feel also the pain of searching the issues on github as it's more free-hand than a jira system. At the same time it's easier and quicker to navigate, so it ease the pain at the same time ;-) I would say that the current labels isn't well organized to be able to search like in jira but it could. For example any label has a prefix describing the jira attribute type (component, version, ...) Then a bot scanning the issue content could set some of them as other open source project are doing. The bad thing here is that you might end up with too many labels. Maybe @resmo can give his point of view on how things are managed in Ansible (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pulls - lots of labels, lots of issues and PRs). I don't know if that's a solution but labels seem the only way to organize things.
