Set up structured issue metadata fields

[afuetterer]

GitHub added structured issue metadata in their public review.

This could be used for things like priority, effort, type etc.

Hi @afuetterer, thanks for the info. In principle yes, but I don't think we can use it yet. It would replace some of our Labels, right?

[afuetterer]

Yes, it could replace those labels and have them available org-wide, e.g. the plugins-repos.

Yes, it is in public preview. You can request access by commenting in their issue. But its fine to wait for general availability as well.

Yes, lets wait.
