add "umbrella" label for issues about issues

[iand]

There are a number of long-running issues that serve as tracking or meta issues for broad bugs or features. These are useful to subscribe to since they have a lower volume of updates than the detail issues and also serve as a reference for the current state of development.

I propose to add a "meta-issue" label for these issues to assist finding them.

This is prompted by my recent discovery of the Go2 review meta issue which is closing after a year's operation. I follow the proposal meta issue and find it very informative. I wish I'd known about the Go2 review issue too.

Examples of issues that could use this label:

• proposal: review meeting minutes #33502
• spec: language change review meeting minutes #33892
• all: binaries too big and growing #6853
• x/pkgsite: documentation feedback - tracking issue #37819
• net: a better builtin DNS stub resolver #22956
• x/pkgsite: documentation feedback - tracking issue #37819
• x/pkgsite: search feedback - tracking issue #37810
• x/text: localization support #12750
• x/tools/gopls: reduce memory usage #36943

(Just to be clear, the Go 2 meta issue is not closing, just changing how it works. Nothing against this proposal, which seems fine to me.)

Adding to minutes. We can probably bikeshed the name for quite a long time and I'd rather not.
Is there any standard name used by lots of other projects for this?

[rsc]

No one has commented about the name. Discussed more at proposal meeting and are suggesting "umbrella".
Or we could take a leap and do "☂️".

[iand]

I think umbrella is a good, generic term that covers the concept nicely.

[rsc]

Based on the (limited) discussion and the fact that this decision is easily changed later (unlike most proposals), this seems like a likely accept.

Another candidate for this label: #24661

[rsc]

No change in consensus, so accepted.

[rsc]

Created label; if someone wants to apply it to the relevant issues and then close this one, please do.

I've added the label to a few open issues where it seemed fitting. We can keep doing that in the future. Closing since this is done.
