Drop "Needs testing" label in PRs

Development RFCs

Currently the PR Processor applies the “Needs testing” label to pull requests. I have the impression that nobody actually uses this today. That’s why I’m proposing to drop it.

Please fill in the poll. I’ve set it to close on 2021-03-03 to force a decision by then.

What to do with Needs testing label
  • Keep unchanged
  • Stop applying it in the bot
  • Other as I’ve described in the comments

Just to clear things a bit: you are proposing to stop setting up the label but to keep the GH label?

I occasionally set the label as a reminder that I need to re-test the patch. But if you propose to completely remove that from GH I’d be probably fine as well. Just to make things clear.

Also, if you don’t always set it automatically, it may actually serve a purpose again when you apply it manually.

This has just been deployed. You may notice it’ll stop applying the label. The Not yet reviewed, Needs re-review and Waiting on contributor labels will continue to be applied.
