swap-labels.yml

# **what?**
# Will remove one label in favor of another
#
# **why?**
# When we triage issues, we sometimes need more information from the issue creator.  In
# those cases we remove the `triage` label and add the `awaiting_response` label.  Once we
# receive a response in the form of a comment, we want the `awaiting_response` label removed
# in favor of the `triage` label so we are aware that the issue needs action.

# **when?**
# This will run when called by another workflow
