[Feat] Make better use of GitHub labels when reporting on issues

[nilason]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be advantageous to make better use of labels when reporting an issue.

At present the templates do not create automatic labels for e.g. bug or enhancement, but instead add extra clutter (= [Feat] or [Bug]) to the issue title, which is not even easily filterable.

For an issue reporter that have no writing permission to the repository, there is no possibility to add or alter label. This leaves the task of labelling to an admin or will not be done at all.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add automatic labelling to the templates, presently "Bug report" and "Feature request". And consider further templates: e.g. "Bug report"+"GUI" etc.

Do you have any pointer how to add these labels automatically? I am happy to modify it.

Agreed - this is quite annoying.

Please let me know how to do that and I'll modify it.

Would that not be too confusing then? Too many choices on the "issues" landing page?

#527 resolves the existing templates.

If the community is interesting in adding further templates is a matter of discussion .
I'd would say they should at least be limited in number and very distinct.

What is the status here?

@nilason Do you think the original complaint of the issue templates not having labels still present?
The two templates in the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder assign bug and enhancement to their respective templates.

If this was enough, we should close this 8.4.0 issue
