Notify when labels are changed in issues or pull requests

[nvdaes]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When someone works on issues/pull requests, this developer needs to know when labels are added or removed, for example, if the issue has been triaged or the pull request is locked waiting for testing or product decision.

Describe the solution you'd like

When labels are added or removed, a comment may be added so that followers of the issue can receive an email notification. For example: "Labels: triaged, p4, locked/needsTesting", etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Developers can check this manually from time to time.

Additional context

GitHub Actions may be used for this:

Perhaps put in an issue with GitHub accessibility, to request that labels receive notification status? Therefore, if people are subscribed to issues, labels will be notified on GitHub and by email, if they are setup for that.

Hi @XLTechie . Can you provide links to documentation about filling issues with GitHub Accessibility? Your idea seems reasonable, if I have understood it well.

[XLTechie]

@nvdaes Perhaps start here: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/accessibility
There is a pinned issue there for introduction, and you should be able to post something new.

Apart of automatic notification, giving a reason is sometimes useful and not always done when needed. E.g. sometimes the blocked label is applied, but we do not always know why the issue / PR is being blocked.

Closing this as won't fix. Comments would be too noisy on this repository. Please provide feedback to GitHub for a proper solution
