Team labels specify what team is responsible for this issue.

The team labels planned for deprecation are:
- ~Configure
- ~Create
- ~Defend
- ~Distribution
- ~Ecosystem
- ~Geo
- ~Gitaly
- ~Growth
- ~Manage
- ~Memory
- ~Monitor
- ~Plan
- ~Release
- ~Secure
- ~Verify
The following team labels are **true** teams per our [organization structure](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/structure/#organizational-structure) which will remain post deprecation.
The current team labels are:
- ~Delivery
- ~Documentation
The descriptions on the [labels page](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/-/labels) explain what falls under the
