And then I thought to check how GIMP is handling this. It's not pretty: four pages of \
label definitions (and keep in mind that all labels are available both to merge \
requests and issues). Creating a query when there are so many labels is exceedingly \
hard, as I imagine actually managing them and tagging reports with them. See \
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/labels 

A second problem here is that these labels are defined _per project_. That means that \
any common way of handling bugs among KDE projects will disappear.

Sorry, but I don't see any way this is going to end well. KDE projects should not use \
the gitlab issues feature for bug reports. Use of the issues feature should be \
reserved for replacing the phabricator tasks functionality. KDE should continue to \
use bugzilla.
