It was pointed out to me that someone sending a MR doesn't have the
permission to add labels.  Which seemed kinda strange to me.  Not sure
if the permission to add labels is tied to permission to push to
master or something like that?

(And it would be nice if a MR w/ subject like 'freedreno: xyz'
automatically had the freedreno label applied)
