Look at other popular and widely-used projects on GitHub, such as https://github.com/openssl/OpenSSL.git and https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC.git

Both have tons of issues to process, but an issue would have maybe one, at most two labels. Here I see it rare for an issue to have less than four labels, usually five or six.

Please reconsider, and stop throwing every possibly-remotely-applicable label at an issue - it's both confusing and annoying to the viewer. Pick one that's the closest, and stay with it.

My $0.02.

@mouse07410 That's totally valid, and I would lean that way as well. However, the Code.gov website will scrape issues from our open source repositories and display them on their site - along with other Federal Government open source projects - in a single UI. In order for that page to have filtering capabilities it uses labels like the ones you see here. So, for the time being, we'll need to keep the labels as they are.

(I'll leave this issue open for a bit just so others can comment/read if they wish.)
