Hey #GameDev... I need more help with the labeler. 😅
We've labeled just short of 600 accounts so far, but there are hundreds of untouched requests we haven't been able to get to yet. If you're looking to help us out, here's what you can do... 🧵

Okay, I think I'm caught up on labeling for the time being! We've labelled just short of 350 accounts today. 🤯
If you pinged the labeler but haven't received your label yet, feel free to ping it again. I may very well have missed a few.
