How do you tag (Github) issues?

How do you tag issues, and how do they fit into your workflow? One that I've been thinking about recently, is the "help wanted" tag that github adds to repositories by default. But, at some level, help is wanted on any issue. I think "Good first contribution" is a better tag for the purpose of giving new contributors a place to start.

I like to use them as a sort of todo list, github is one of the most common tools I use and always have it open somewhere on my screens. Here is some that I'm actually allowed to show i.imgur.com/NzS6lGg.png it just allows me to keep track some of the major issues and possible enhancements I need to fix before rolling this patch out to a live server.

I find the custom tags to be very useful also especially when working on large scale projects they can be very handy to have on board so you don't have to spend ages looking in a package or a class for a specific method.
