Hacktoberfest is upon us, worth labelling some issues accordingly?

Would there be any use in taking some low hanging fruit / issues and applying the 'Hacktoberfest' label to them? Could be a useful tool to bringing new contributors into the project.

Absolutely! We did that in past Hacktoberfests already.

Which issues should we mark for Hacktoberfest? How about all "easy" and "docs" also receive that label?

[symonk]

@nicoddemus sounds good, ok if I go ahead and do that?

[nicoddemus]

Sure go ahead, thanks!

@nicoddemus seems 2020 is slightly different, we should add a hacktoberfest topic and add hacktoberfest-accepted labels to PRs, please see: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/hacktoberfest-update

[symonk]

looks like we already have the topic :)

I don't see why we'd need to add the label, as PRs which are marked as accepted and/or merged count as well.

[nicoddemus]

I agree, no need for the label on the PRs, just approving/merging is sufficient. 👍
