Betreff: [Tails-dev] Proposal: use a Label instead of a Milestone to track our roadmap
Last year, we encoded the items on our roadmap using the Milestones
%2021 and %2022:

https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/groups/tails/-/milestones/10
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/groups/tails/-/milestones/109

The problem is that we lose this information as we assign issues to the
version numbers that we use as milestones to organize our work on a
shorter time frame.

For example, I want to get #8845 done by 4.20, so I moved it from %2021
to %4.20, lose the roadmap semantics.

As a consequence, it's hard to have a bird's view of the progress made
on our roadmap (or a kanban).

I propose that we change this to using labels, for example ~2021 instead
of %2021. This way, changing milestones wouldn't lose the roadmap info.
It would make it easier to track and evaluate progress without having to
go back to the canonical version of the roadmap from Mural.

Do you see any disadvantage to using a label instead of milestone for
our roadmap items?
