Stephen That is a fair point. Labels do tend to deviate and contain typos. However, there may be scenarios when a code change is trivial enough to be picked by a new contributor and yet has a priority which is more important than trivial. That is the reason I would like to disambiguate between the two situations. I don't have a good answer for reducing typos but perhaps, that is something we would have to accept and live with.
Lyndon Sure, "new-contributor" works for me. I don't have a strong opinion on the exact label name. -- Divij Vaidya On Sun, Jun 12, 2022 at 12:32 PM Stephen Mallette <spmalle...@gmail.com> wrote: > We've long used "Trivial" priority to denote easy to jump into issues for > new folks. > > > https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/current/dev/developer/#_considering_code_changes > > I liked using the priority field this way because labels have a way of > being mistyped from "newbie" to "newbies" to "noobie" to "easy" (it happens > with the one sanctioned label we use consistently quite often, i.e. > "breaking") and priority is just a simple drop down box.
