JBS Modification Proposal: Don't inherit master bug labels when creating backport records

Since the launch of the OpenJDK Jira Bug System, the default behaviour
of the manual "Create Backport" action has been to inherit the master
bug labels for the newly created backport record. The experience for
most when manually creating a backport record is to delete all inherited
labels. In comparison, nowadays, the vast majority of backport records
are created by bots (e.g. Dukebot) upon pushing a change to a project
repo. These automated bots don't inherit labels from the master bug.
That approach fits better since all processes that I'm aware of ask that
project tracking labels be added to the master bug only.
I'd like to propose a JBS infra change whereby the manual "Create
Backport" action adopts the bot position of creating backports with no
labels. Are there any comments/concerns with such a tweak ?
regards,
Sean.
