This is quite annoying if the target repo doesn't need those labels, or have a completely different label management approach.

While issues need to relabel anyway after transfer, it requires more steps to delete a label. I don't think it is worth.

Alternatively, we could have an argument @rustbot transfer cargo createMissingLabels=1 in the future, if people really want missing labels created.

And according to the triagebot doc:

WARNING: Transferring is a partially destructive command. For example, labels and milestones that don’t exist in the target repository will be removed from the issue.

Another alternative: configuring via the [transfer] table.

[transfer]
create-labels-if-missing = true

This was introduced in #1780 and I don't see a specific discussion about labels, therefore I think it's ok to experiment with not migrating labels. I guess the reasoning is that labelling is very specific to the git repository and the workflow of maintainers working there, so there is very little overlap between codebases about labels.

Thanks! I don't remember what happened here. That was not the behavior I intended. Perhaps I was testing things and forgot to change it back?
