chore: Label incoming issues with priority-5-triage label

[HonkingGoose]

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

We need a way to remind ourselves to add a proper priority label to incoming issues.

I'm seeing new incoming issues which do not have a priority label.
I suspect this is because it's not longer a fully manual job to add labels, that the maintainers and triagist forget to add the priority label.

Did you already have any implementation ideas?

I would like to propose we add a priority-5-triage label to the repository.
We also adjust the issue templates to add this new label to incoming issues.
This will serve as a reminder to maintainers/triagists that they should assign a proper priority to the issue.
As an added benefit, we can search for the new triage label to find any issues that don't yet have a "real" priority.

I'm suggesting this because we now add some labels to incoming issues automatically.
This makes it easy to forget to add a priority label.
Maybe having a triage label can help with this?

I'm willing to make a PR to add the label to the issue templates, but I cannot add a new label myself, as I don't have the rights to do that. 😄

Or maybe you guys have a better idea? 😄

Instead would it work to have a search for all issues which are missing a priority label?

Instead would it work to have a search for all issues which are missing a priority label?

That would cover all use cases, both old and newer issues.
But it's less easy to use, as you need to copy/paste the query from the triage markdown document.
When you have a label, you can just search for all occurrences of that label by clicking on the label.

I'll let you decide which you prefer. 😉

ok, no problem with the new label

Can /should we remove status:... from closed issues?

[HonkingGoose]

If we want to remove status: badges after issues are closed, we should find a way to automate that, because everybody is going to forget to do that. 😄

Also on a related note: the status:in-progress badge should probably be applied automatically via a bot action once a issue is targeted with Closed #<issue_number> via a PR.
I notice issues are still labeled status:requirements or status:ready after somebody targets them for closure with a PR.

I think we need a new issue to clarify those things 😉
