+This is __WHAT WILL BECOME__ a description of what the issue labels mean and how they are used.
+
+## Type labels
+An issue will receive only one of these.  Every issue should get a type eventually, but if it's unclear it's better to wait.
+
+### bug
+Bug reports and bug fix pull requests.
+
+### question
+Design discussions, meta-discussions about the project and support requests not caused by an external bug.
+
+### enhancement
+Feature requests and feature addition pull requests.
+
+## Status
+These may be combined as necessary.
+
+### verified
+The bug has been reproduced by a maintainer, or possibly verified via documentation, and will very likely be fixed.
+
+### waiting for reply
+The maintainer needs more information before being able to continue working on it.  Please always check the [contribution guide](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) when creating an issue and add any recommended information.
+
+### cannot reproduce
