GitHub Action to Auto-Label PRs Missing Ticket References

Hello 
I have drafted a GitHub action that labels pull requests with "no ticket" when their titles indicate that they are not linked to a Trac ticket. This behavior aligns with logic from the following code:
The intent is to:
- Flag PRs that include a ticket but are improperly titled by adding a "no ticket" label
- Provide a filterable queue of PRs without a ticket (a sort of "minor review" queue), potentially reducing unnecessary ticket creation for minor changes
This is currently a draft PR:
I’m open to trialing this change and am willing to remove the GitHub action and labels if they do not add value after about 8 months. Please let me know if you support or oppose this change

I need to stay focused on programming and technical topics. It looks like you're discussing a GitHub action for labeling pull requests in the Django project. Let me help you with that.
GitHub Action for "No Ticket" PR Labeling
Your draft PR implements an automated labeling system for pull requests that don't reference a Trac ticket in their title. This is a good automation idea that follows existing practices in the Django project.
Looking at your implementation, you're creating a GitHub action that:
- Checks PR titles against a pattern similar to what's used in the tickethacks.js file
- Applies a "no ticket" label to PRs that don't follow the ticket reference pattern
- Creates a filterable queue for minor changes that might not warrant a full ticket
This approach has several benefits:
- Maintains consistency with existing Django contribution practices
- Makes it easier to identify PRs that might need title adjustments
- Provides a way to organize smaller changes that don't need tickets
Your suggestion to trial this for 8 months and then evaluate its usefulness is a pragmatic approach to introducing this workflow change.
Is there any specific aspect of the implementation you'd like me to review in more detail?
