There was a discussion with jsnow about that on IRC, and IIRC he
said what first matters to have easy tags so the reporter does the
first triage directly.

We want to have a first label to quicker triage. Once a
maintainer is notified, different/finest triage can be done.

The downside is this is noisier for maintainers :(

Wait, are you seeing labels are a notification mechanism or a way
to sort the issues?

Until your rename I was using arch:s390x to contact S390 maintainers
for build failure on s390x host [Build System, arch: s390x], bug in TCG
backend or bug in TCG frontend for target [accel: TCG, arch: s390x],
hoping at least one person notified would have further look.

For reporters TCI != TCG, so the simplest is "accel: TCI",
but I prefer "accel:TCG:TCI".
