You created and merged
https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/pull/32 which contains
wrong information. Please undo it.

One random example where the previously existing `question` label is
missing as it was renamed to `info-needed` which does not match the
>20 issues and PRs it was used before. This is why you never rename an
existing label to something else with a different meaning. Please undo
it here and in all other repositories where you did that.

I don't know where else you renamed or removed any labels as there is
no changelog for this information after the fact, so please go through
them all (listed on apache/cordova) and undo it on all of them.

If you don't agree with the common usage of question as a label, feel
free to open a discussion about this _after fixing this_.
