Description
I see that an Issue can have various labels, including (question).
I don't see any way for me to create an issue with the (question) label.
I gather that GitHub won't allow non-contributors to assign labels because an inexperienced user could mess things up with an inappropriate label.
Could you add an item to your https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/new/choose page for this purpose?
I don't find the mypy Gitter useful because (1) it is broader in scope than just mypy, and (2) I want my question to show up on the python/mypy/issues page, just like the issue I am writing now.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start at the repository's issues/new/choose page and inspect how its existing issue types are configured. Add a way for users to submit questions, then verify that the new option appears on the issue chooser and creates an issue with the intended question label.
