Description

I wonder if we should expand upon this. For example, personally speaking I only add this label if it's a nightly-to-nightly regression (i.e., a super recent regression) but typically not if I also add F-* labels since that implies nightly in most cases.

Research direction

Open the issue triage chapter and find the explanation of requires-nightly; then read the linked discussion in PR #716 and compare it with the guidance for F-* labels. Done means the chapter clearly states when requires-nightly is used, including the nightly-to-nightly regression distinction and its relationship to F-* labels.
