Per issue #67 (quote below), I'm in favor of implementing a help-wanted
tag, color #fff700 "lemon", description: Contributor is seeking help or
advice.

> A brightly-colored label contributors could add to PRs in need of
> advice/assistance would make it easier for those to receive it. It
> would also formalize a norm of asking for and giving small help and
> advice within the project, making the project more inviting and
> accessible for new contributors (who might build confidence by helping
> and being helped) while also enabling more deeply collaborative modes
> of work for experienced contributors working on projects that require
> broad areas of expertise.

> It's worth considering that adding such a label might enable/encourage
> low-quality/effort and/or unfinished PRs, but in turn, this label
> would enable the easy filtering and pruning/maintenance of these; and
> if these come anyways, having a label for these kinds of PRs would
> make them more discoverable for use as reference material, at least.
>
> This also might create more "noise" in PRs as collaborative
> communication is attached to its relevant code here rather than, e.g,
> in IRC or email threads, but with that also comes accessiblity and
> preservation of institutional knowledge.
