# Labels for Issues and Pull Requests

## Label categories

The table below defines the labels to be used when classifying issues and pull requests.
Each label is assigned to one of these categories:

* Area
* Priority
* Release category
* Status
* Type
* Versioning

# Usage

A label from *Area* and *Type* should be attached to an issue or pull request,
when applicable.

One label from *Priority* could be attached to an issue, or else the issue is
considered to have normal priority. Similarly, the same could be done for a pull
request.

A label from *Status* can be used if applicable.

A PR should always have exactly one label from *Versioning* except in the
[Zonemaster/Zonemaster] repository where they do not apply.

A PR should have one or more labels from *Release category*. `RC-None` must not
be combined with any other *Release category* label.
