 Labeling PRs with `enhancement`, `bug`, or `crash` will allow the PR to be tracked in GitHub's [automatically generated release notes](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/automatically-generated-release-notes). Small fixes (like minor UI adjustments) or non-user facing issues (like developer project clean up) should also have the `ignore-for-release` label since many PRs may be similar. If you think that no labels are required, that is acceptable.
