They usually do.\r\n\r\nre: GitHub labels: there are some projects to get a bot to label issues according to suggestions from a wide set of reviewers.\r\n\r\n@domenkozar @rbvermaa  I am not ready to do a list of recommendations for commit access right now, but giving @groxxda commit access is definitely a good idea and he has just expressed the wish for that. Could you please grant him committer access?"}}
