This file was auto generated by the label_sync tool, based on the labels.yaml that it uses to sync github labels across repos in the kubernetes github org
The rule of thumb is that labels are here because they are intended to be produced or consumed by our automation (primarily prow) across all repos. There are some labels that can only be manually applied/removed, and where possible we would rather remove them or add automation to allow a larger set of contributors to apply/remove them.
- Add automation that consumes/produces the label
- Open a PR, with a single commit, that:
- updates labels.yaml with the new label(s)
- runs
hack/update-labels.sh(to regenerate the label descriptions and associated CSS)
- Involve sig-contributor-experience in the change, eg: chat about it in slack, mention @kubernetes/sig-contributor-experience-pr-reviews in the PR, etc.
- After the PR is merged, a kubernetes CronJob is responsible for syncing labels daily
