It is time-consuming to sync our settings, like labels, branch protection rules, etc., across repositories. There is also no good log for those changes.

It would be better to manage settings using files in git. Two known options for that are:

• https://github.com/repository-settings/app
• https://github.com/github/safe-settings

Maybe there is something else. We should use an existing tool, not make our own, as much as some of us want to.
