+* Yellow, **A**-prefixed labels state which **area** of the project an issue
+  relates to. 
+
+* Magenta, **B**-prefixed labels identify bugs which **belong** elsewhere. 
+
+* Green, **E**-prefixed labels explain the level of **experience** 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. 
+
+* Orange, **P**-prefixed labels indicate a bug's **priority**. These labels
+  are only assigned during triage meetings, and replace the [I-nominated][inom]
+  label. 
+
+* Blue, **T**-prefixed bugs denote which **team** the issue belongs to.
+
+* Dark blue, **beta-** labels track changes which need to be backported into
