+# This is a mapping of labels to title/description regex patterns used by

+# when opened/edited.
+#
+# If multiple patterns are provided in the list for a label, they all have to
+# match.
+#
+# To label when any one of multiple patterns matches, concatenate the patterns
+# using a "|" delimeter, to form a single pattern.

+# "^" appears to match only the beginning of the issue title.

+# Automatic label removal is currently disabled, but could be enabled.
