Research direction

Read the context in admin issue #921 and review the organization issue-type settings linked in this issue. Determine and document the agreed set of issue types, including each name, description, color, and private-repository setting; completion requires agreement on the organization-wide configuration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Now that we have access to the new GitHub issues features (https://github.com/nodejs/admin/issues/921), we should decide on the set of issue types that we want for the org.

By default, there are three: Task, Bug and Feature.

Image

We can create a maximum of 25 issue types.
Issue type fields are: name, description, color (selected from a fixed list of 8 colors), and "private repositories only".

Image

The main differences between issue types and labels are:

  • An issue can only be assigned to a single type.
  • Issue types cannot be customized per-repository.

Owners can see and edit the settings here: https://github.com/organizations/nodejs/settings/issue-types
