Productivity sink for whom?  Someone using the JDK, or someone working
on it?  Arguably the lack of (to pick a random example) extension
methods in the language is a productivity sink for some developers in
the latter category.

This suggests labels that include the token “maintainer.”  Maybe one of:

  affects-maintainers
  maintainer-burden
  maintainer-nuisance
  maintainer-overhead
  maintainer-sink
  maintainer-slog
  maintainer-slowdown
  maintainer-tax

... or something like that.
