One can also argue that this issue will self correct anyway. The JEPBot will see the correct comment eventually and restore the label. The downside is that until that happens (which can easily take enough time to be confusing to users), the PR will show that the JEP has been targeted.

I pondered on this some more and I think we can fix it. We can extend `CommandHandler::handle` for PRs with another parameter for returning a collection of labels to add to the PR. PullRequestCommandWorkItem calls this with an empty collection and any command that needs to add labels after the reply is posted can add them to this collection.
