The [awaiting ...] labels are meant to be automatically added by bedevere bot. Both miss-islington and bedevere rely on these labels in order to work properly, so it's like a contract between the two bots.
It would be great to clarify in the devguide that these labels should only be used by the bots and should not be manipulated manually.
Maybe it would also be great to refer to the state machine here: https://github.com/python/bedevere/blob/main/bedevere/stage.py#L7
(and render the state machine too perhaps?)
