Ongoing issue cleanup

[Helium314]

This issue is to inform about ongoing work that will take a while.
[Update March 2025: well,I had not expected to take this long... not even halfway done with labeling. Sorry.]

I see myself unable to handle the increased amount of activity in this repository in the past few months, especially because it coincides with me much less time to spend on this project than I had up to ~February.
The usual choice is between developing the app, responding in issues / discussions, and handling PRs. Recently none of those categories got enough attention. Sometimes I can spend ~2 hours on issues and discussions, and in the end I might have answered some questions but that's it. Often it feels like 2 wasted hours that could better be spent on actual development.

While technically things could go on like this, it will result in a bunch of unhappy users (and developers).
A first measure is better organizing issues (and to a lesser extent PRs), in an attempt to reduce the necessary work there in long term. I'm not (yet) going to work on an "issue tree" as suggested in #898, but I will start organizing using labels, and sometimes linking issues or PRs.

• I will go through all open issues (from oldest to newest) and assign tags where appropriate. New labels will be created where it's suitable, e.g. toolbar, or new layout.
• Whenever it seems necessary, I will edit the first post so it contains what should be done.
• The guidelines in the issue templates will actually be enforced, and I plan to close issues clearly violating the guidelines (mostly regarding the 3 tl;dr points, but also e.g. if the issue just consists of a link).
• Comments not contributing to the issue (e.g. "please implement it" or unrelated discussions) will be hidden.

I could try and help out by mentioning this post in offending issues that I see. But I don't want to act as "issue police" unless you want me to.

Thanks. I'd like to first go though the all the issues at least once though. (sometimes I change my mind on various things, and I have the impression I'm not particularly consistent...)
