## Issue Triage
Sometimes, an issue will stay open, even though the bug has been fixed. And
sometimes, the original bug may go stale because something has changed in the
meantime.
It can be helpful to go through older bug reports and make sure that they are
still valid. Load up an older issue, double check that it's still true, and
leave a comment letting us know if it is or is not. The [least recently
updated sort][lru] is good for finding issues like this.
Contributors with sufficient permissions on the Rust repo can help by adding
labels to triage issues:
* Yellow, **A**-prefixed labels state which **area** of the project an issue
relates to.
* Magenta, **B**-prefixed labels identify bugs which are **blockers**.
* Light purple, **C**-prefixed labels represent the **category** of an issue.
* Dark purple, **Command**-prefixed labels mean the issue has to do with a
specific cargo command.
* Green, **E**-prefixed labels explain the level of **experience** or
**effort** necessary to fix the issue.
* Red, **I**-prefixed labels indicate the **importance** of the issue. The
[I-nominated][inom] label indicates that an issue has been nominated for
prioritizing at the next triage meeting.
* Purple gray, **O**-prefixed labels are the **operating system** or platform
that this issue is specific to.
* Orange, **P**-prefixed labels indicate a bug's **priority**. These labels
are only assigned during triage meetings, and replace the [I-nominated][inom]
label.
