 labels to indicate we've triaged an issue, but most typeshed issues
 are relatively simple (stubs for a given module or package are
 missing, incomplete or incorrect) and we won't add noise to the
-tracker by labeling all of them.  Here's what our labels mean.  (We
-also apply these to pull requests.)
-
-* **bug**: It's a bug in a stub.
-* **bytes-unicode**: It's related to bytes vs. unicode, usually Python 2.
-* **feature**: It's a new typeshed feature.
-* **priority-high**: This issue is more important than most.
-* **priority-low**: This issue is less important than most.
-* **priority-normal**: This issue has average priority.
-* **question**: Not really an issue, but a question on how to do something.
-* **size-large**: An issue of high complexity or affecting many files.
-* **size-medium**: An issue of average complexity.
-* **size-small**: An issue that will take only little effort to fix.
