-            The \`${labelName}\` label is reserved for project maintainers to apply. This helps us ensure that an issue is ready and properly vetted for community contribution.
-
-            A maintainer will review this issue soon. Please see our [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) for more details on our labeling process.
