In favor for Patch::new, Patch::review, Patch::countdown, and
Patch::push on closed issues. Not sure about Patch::abandoned and even
less about Patch::needs_work - these might still contain some work that
could be revived later on. However I haven't looked through them yet.

Regarding email noise, I think only removing a label will not send
notifications. We can even do so very efficiently by "bulk editing"
those issues: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/bulk_editing.html
