And then I thought to check how GIMP is handling this. It's not pretty: four pages of label definitions (and keep in mind that all labels are available both to merge requests and issues). Creating a query when there are so many labels is exceedingly hard, as I imagine actually managing them and tagging reports with them. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/labels 

A second problem here is that these labels are defined _per project_. That means that any common way of handling bugs among KDE projects will disappear.

Sorry, but I don't see any way this is going to end well. KDE projects should not use the gitlab issues feature for bug reports. Use of the issues feature should be reserved for replacing the phabricator tasks functionality. KDE should continue to use bugzilla.
