Upcoming Enhancement to SKARA Bot – Auto Labeling

[Zhao Song]

Hi All,

There is an upcoming enhancement [1] to SKARA.

The SKARA bot will soon begin automatically adding labels to pull requests based on newly added or modified files.

Please note the following changes:
1. Previously, the bot performed auto labeling only once for the initial commit of your PR. Now, the bot will do the auto labeling for your pull request each time you push new commits.
2. The bot will only add new labels and will not remove existing ones, except for upgrading specific labels to their corresponding group labels (e.g., upgrading `hotspot-runtime` and `hotspot-compiler` to `hotspot`).
3. Previously, users could skip auto labeling by issuing the /label command before the process began. This workaround will no longer be available.

Impact to existing PRs:
1. If your PR was previously auto labeled, the bot will continue auto labeling when you push new commits.
2. If your PR was not auto labeled, the bot will evaluate the current changes in your PR and apply labels automatically.

Thanks,
Zhao
