Description

The first time the label is added, we should check for the presence of common issues. I need to think about what this involves, but off the top of my head:

  • lack of filenames (a/b.rs), types/modules (a::b)
  • lack of instructions involving mach (ie. ./mach test-wpt, ./mach build-cef, ./mach test-tidy)

We could leave a comment highlighting the missing pieces and linking to a document with best practices for filing issues intended for non-core contributors.

Research direction

Start by locating the handling for the first addition of the "E-easy" and "E-less easy" labels, then review how comments and linked documentation are produced. Define which missing filenames, types or modules, and mach instructions should be detected; done means the checks reliably identify omissions and leave a useful comment pointing to best practices.
