Automatically subscribe to an issue by label or a set of labels

[DmitryKuzmenko]

If you are a part of developers group working on a part of a project and want to follow all issues related to the group in some project to be in touch. It's useful to have a way to became notified on an issue updates if the issue is assigned with a label.

Another simpler way is to add all the issue labels to the notification email header to allow to filter them with the email client.

Any idea when it'll happen? Gitlab already has this feature: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/labels.html#subscribing-to-labels

This would be so useful. My use case as a contributor is to subscribe to beginner / good-first-issue kind of labels on open source projects so I can slowly build up my experience

This would be pretty useful. My use case is the same as @DmitryKuzmenko - large project, where you are insterested in a subset of all pull-requests and issues.

I work on the TypeScript typings for a large JS library... I don't want to be subscribed to the fire hydrant of issues related to the library implementation, but I would really like to know promptly about issues related to the typings!

This is very appealing, it would be an amazing pub/sub for humans to stay up-to-date. I believe this can highly increase software quality!

I believe that’s up to the owners of the repository to manage the tags. Another administrator layer to sort out. Currently only on per issue level at present.

Here's an action that allows you to subscribe individuals and teams to specific issue labels: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/issue-label-notifier

It should be a good workaround until the functionality is built into GitHub.

I created an Azure Web Job in .NET Core so I could follow labels in an extremely active repo, it might be useful to other people:
