Use Type:bug instead of "bug" label?

[nicolas-raoul]

Not sure why we started using a label, maybe Type was not available at the time.

Tasks:

• Judge whether there is any demerit to switching to Type for bugs, enhancements, and tasks.
• Move them all (hopefully there is a batch way to do this.
• Fix the "unbassigned bug" search link at https://github.com/commons-app/commons-app-documentation/blob/master/android/Volunteers-welcome!.md#developers

Type seems like a new addition. Sounds more intuitive than labels but I'm looking for a batch way to migrate 🙂

Hey @nicolas-raoul I am intrested to work on this issue , Can you assign the issue to me ?

[nicolas-raoul]

Thanks!
If you need some permission, please explain how you intend to use it. :-)

Thank you for your response. I would like to contribute to resolving issue #6356 by updating the bug-report.yml file in the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE directory to replace the "bug" label with "Type:bug" as requested. My plan is to:

• Modify the labels: ["bug"] line in bug-report.yml to labels: ["Type:bug"].
• Commit the change, create a pull request, and seek your review and approval.
• If approved, manually update the labels of existing "bug"-labeled issues to "Type:bug" via the GitHub interface.

Hi @Kota-Jagadeesh, thank you for sharing the plan! if there's no automated way of doing this at the moment, please feel free to skip it for now. There are 100+ issues with the bug label. @nicolas-raoul please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm expecting the impact of this tedious activity to be minimal as of now.

We could write a small script if there's no official batch way of doing this, but let's not do this manually 🙂

[nicolas-raoul]

New contributors must start by bug fixes (especially true from September to May).

Having two different ways of marking bugs would lead some new contributors to see only a small part of the bugs.

Manually would probably take less than 1 hour so it is a valid solution in my opinion. 🙂

@Kota-Jagadeesh I had missed that, thanks for the pull request. 🙂

Fortunately, we can bulk update the types on GitHub 🎉

[Kota-Jagadeesh]

Thank you for the update! I’m glad we can bulk update the types on GitHub. I have updated bug-report.yml with type: bug and labels: ["Type: bug"]. Please let me know if I should assist with the bulk update or if you will handle it.
