- The **"blocked-by-other-PR"** label means that some specific other PR(s) should be resolved before addressing this one. To add the "blocked-by-other-PR" label to your PR, include the PR numbers of the dependencies in the PR comment (following the example hidden in the comment there) so that others can see at a glance which PRs should be reviewed first. The label will be added automatically by a bot and will also be removed automatically when the other PRs have been merged. PRs with this label do not appear on the review queue.

- The **easy** label should be used to mark PRs that can be immediately approved. Maintainers and reviewers often look at easy PRs first to keep the queue flowing.

(If they are immediately analogous, you should put such context in the PR description anyway.) Note that a small diff does not automatically make a PR easy!

- The **delegated** label means that a maintainer has issued the "bors delegate" (or "bors d+") command. The author of the PR
should now merge the PR themselves once any final requested changes have been made, and CI has succeeded. They can do this using
