Add Label Filtering to Release Notes with Dropdown Menu

[JohnSoellnerDev]

Overview

This PR is adding a new "Hide Bugs" option to the release notes component. Now, users can toggle the visibility of pull requests labeled "bug." This will help declutter the release notes view, allowing users to focus on non-bug changes.

Benefits

• Improved Usability: Users now have the option to filter out bug related pull requests from the release notes. This makes it easier for users to focus on new features and other improvements.

Hey @akien-mga Could you provide an update on this PR? It would be great if it could be reviewed. Also, is this a feature that you would like to integrate into the project? 😁

The implementation seems fine, but I don't know if the feature is actually desired. We'd need to hear more from the community on whether they'd want to have this specific filter.

I could imagine a request for more filtering options, but just filtering out bug fixes seems a bit specific and peculiar to me. I'm assuming your goal is to mostly see new features. So what about documentation updates or typo fixes? What about a filter to highlight regression fixes? Personally, having a filter to see only bug fixes also seems quite worthwhile, as users often want to know if "their" favorite bug has been tackled.

So IMO this needs a bit more design thinking.

UI wise, I'm also not too fond of the checkbox there. I haven't given much thought yet to what would be better though, but that kind of depends on whether we want to implement more extensive filter options.

Thanks for your feedback. I understand what you mean.

Considering your points, we could maybe implement a dropdown menu that allows users to manually select the labels they want to include. Items that do not have the selected labels would be filtered out.

Hey @akien-mga,

I have now implemented the dropdown menu. One thing I would like to ask is how we should handle the availableLabels. Should we hardcode them or maybe fetch them from GitHub somehow and what other labels should we use to filter? 🙂
