Check for unused Labels

[sebbel]

Currently there are certain Labels whose reason for being is not specified.
Please review the labels not in use and delete them or clarify their meaning.

As a project maintainer, I want to have a sparse and concise selection of labels to avoid ambivalence.

@sebbel: maybe @brylie knows more about it?

The labels are used for backlog management/pruning. Specifically,

• wontfix - used for feature requests or bug reports that will not receive attention. E.g. a 'bug' report that is actually how the feature is designed to function, or an enhancement request that is contrary to the goals of the platform
• invalid - used to indicate that an issue is not relevant to the project
• duplicate - used to indicate that an issue duplicates a previously filled/prioritised feature

The labels are a concise way to indicate the reason that an issue was closed, without requiring project managers to read issue discussions.
