gopherbot removed the release-blocker label in #35482 (comment).

Need to investigate and understand why it happened.

I believe that @zx2c4 asked gopherbot to remove the label. Then maybe he deleted his own comment?

Shouldn't the gopherbot only process "please add label" comments from the issue creator?

It seems weird that a user that 1) is not the OP of the issue 2) has no "add/remove label" permission on the repository, can ask gopherbot to remove labels.

Thanks @cespare, that's very helpful.

The intention is for gopherbot to allow anyone to add or remove labels, as described at https://golang.org/wiki/gopherbot. There are some labels that are not allowed to be added/removed (see here).

We may want to rethink this interaction for release-blocker labels. /cc @golang/osp-team

I'm the OP of that issue, and set the original release-blocker via gopherbot.

Since there's now the Backlog milestone, maybe anything milestoned for a release is effectively a release-blocker? Still, it's nice to see the big red flag in issue lists.

Tangentially, it's difficult/impossible to add the "help wanted" label via gopherbot, due to the space character. Maybe that could be renamed.

I asked gopherbot to do this.

Thanks @zx2c4. I made #35757 about finding a way to improve it so that it's more clear when that happens. I left a comment on the original issue to give you more context on why we re-added the label.

@networkimprov Have you seen https://golang.org/wiki/gopherbot#addingremoving-labels? It describes how to work with labels containing spaces, using "help wanted" as an example. Please open a new issue about it if there is a problem.

Testing... (I remember trying these before, without success, hm)

EDIT: Well the add variants of these commands worked, but not remove!

@gopherbot remove help wanted
@gopherbot remove OS-Windows, OS-Linux

EDIT: try add via edit
@gopherbot add OS-Linux

I don't think editing an existing comment is supported. Let me try a new comment.

@gopherbot remove help wanted
@gopherbot remove OS-Windows, OS-Linux
