Contributors with sufficient permissions on the Rust repo can help by adding
labels to triage issues:
* Yellow, **A**-prefixed labels state which **area** of the project an issue
relates to.
* Magenta, **B**-prefixed labels identify bugs which **belong** elsewhere.
* Green, **E**-prefixed labels explain the level of **experience** necessary
to fix the issue.
* Red, **I**-prefixed labels indicate the **importance** of the issue. The
[I-nominated][inom] label indicates that an issue has been nominated for
prioritizing at the next triage meeting.
* Orange, **P**-prefixed labels indicate a bug's **priority**. These labels
are only assigned during triage meetings, and replace the [I-nominated][inom]
label.
* Blue, **T**-prefixed bugs denote which **team** the issue belongs to.
* Dark blue, **beta-** labels track changes which need to be backported into
the beta branches.
* The purple **metabug** label marks lists of bugs collected by other
categories.
