## Long-living issue labels

|
## Issue and PR Labels
|
|
|
|
Issues are opened for many different reasons.
|
|
We use the following labels for issue classifications:
|
|
|
|
* `Issue-Bug`: the issue is reporting a bug
|
|
* `Issue-Discussion`: the issue may not have a clear classification yet.
|
|
The issue may generate an [RFC][ln-rfc] or may be reclassified as a bug or enhancement.
|
|
* `Issue-Enhancement`: the issue is more of a feature request than a bug.
|
|
* `Issue-Meta`: an issue used to track multiple issues.
|
|
* `Issue-Question`: ideally support can be provided via other mechanisms,
|
|
but sometimes folks to open an issue to get a question answered and we will use this label for such issues.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
When an issue is resolved, the following labels are used to describe the resolution:
|
|
|
|
* `Resolution-Answered`: the issue was an `Issue-Question` and was answered.
|
|
* `Resolution-By Design`: the issue is not considered a bug, the behavior is working as designed.
|
|
* `Resolution-Duplicate`: the issue is a duplicate - there must be a comment linking to another issue.
|
|
* `Resolution-External`: the issue cannot be address by this repo. Should be addressed externally.
|
|
* `Resolution-Fixed`: the issue has been fixed and should be referenced from a PR.
|
|
* `Resolution-Won't Fix`: the issue may be considered a bug or enhancement but won't be fixed.
|
|
If there is an inadequate explanation as to why the issue was closed,
|
|
anyone should feel free to reopen the issue.
|
|
|
