Some people asked me about how I actually apply my labels while triaging and I think I could actually share my workflow in the devguide instead for future triaging. I especially think that it's not necessary for bugs that span across all active versions to be labelled with the all labels... Ideally, I would have wanted a 3.X+ tag which implies that the bug started appearing in 3.X, and a bot would be able to automate the labels every time a new one is added but this would be a separate issue.

		- If we are currently in the beta period of:samp:`3.{N}.0` and
		if a feature was implemented in its alpha period but requires a
		non-trivial extension (hence a new feature issue), this new
		feature issue is given the:samp:`3.{N}` label as the latest
		version under development would now be:samp:`3.{N+1}.0a1`.

		To indicate that the labelling is correct and the extension is
		approved, the:gh-label:`triaged` label could also be applied.

Hmm, not sure if we need this? And I'm not sure about the triage label suggestion, it doesn't really say anything more than "issue is accepted by a triager".

Actually, it's for a visual tag. Sometimes I don't remember the issues I've triaged. And if I see an issue with weird label I would say "oh this one could have been mistriaged maybe". But with a triaged label, I know that I don't need to change the labels (same for when I lack a topic-* or a directory for an issue; when there is just "type-bug" it's kind of .. hard to know that there is actually a project associated to the issue; projects can't be seen on the issue page)
