Add and apply release-drafter labels as repository default

Summary

Currently, when you're creating bulk PRs to several hundred repositories, see release-drafter app -> action transition and now the reusable workflow one, repository maintainers often lack labels release-drafter honors (or ignores) for CD actions and changelog creation.
Therefore I'd like to ask if it's possible to:

• add the release-drafter labels as organization default on the jenkinsci org to apply them automatically on newly created repositories
• add the labels retroactively to already existing repositories, if the labels don't exist yet. I'm not sure how feasible and desired that is, but according to the GH API docs, a couple of calls take care of it.
  Resources: Listing all repositories, creating new labels

The labels in question are available at: https://github.com/jenkinsci/.github/blob/master/.github/release-drafter.yml#L10-L66.

The named proposals can't mitigate the issue of repository maintainers not using labels, but making the lifecycle for repository maintainers easier by removing the need to create more than a couple of dozen labels, if you repository lacks them, and passively promoting the use of release drafter to generate changelogs.

This issue continues the discussion from jenkinsci/file-parameters-plugin#107.

Interesting, didn't know something like that exists. Sounds like a good idea to utilize it to be able to apply those kind of changes at any time.
