We need to first tidy up the current labeling so we don't end up with 
many permutations of the same thing. e.g Fixed_2_xx_xx, FIxed_2_xx_xx 
fixed_2_xx_xx, pushed_2_xx_xx, fixed2_xx_xx etc. I am going through 
these manually as I think Jonas said (or maybe I inferred) that there is 
no nice (and safe) way to do this automatically. Just so everyone knows, 
going through the 'fixed/Fixed' labels it seems to be a 45/55 split with 
the later LP versions edging more to the 'Fixed' string, so I am 
replacing all the labels such that they all start with an upper case 
then we have some consistency to do whatever we decide on.

The countdown.py script has completely replaced what I used to us, and I 
no longer use patchy-staging-merge or build doc at all (although I can 
if needed).My only problems, such as they are, are one of the overly 
busy interface of Gitlab, and making sure that I don't miss any nested 
comments in the thread that are supposed to stop a MR moving on in the 
countdown.

Otherwise everything else needing discussion about the current process I 
am flexible on and will defer to the group.

Thanks again Jonas.
