Today the legacy PR processor is used to apply directory labels, but it is the only repository to do so. This uses a common GitHub Action to do the same thing. Another benefit is that the configuration now lives close to the code.
A possible downside is that if there are changes, it needs to be cherry picked. That's unlikely, given how little these change. It may even be a benefit when files move around. It gives the possibility to use different labels in different branches.

Use actions/labeler to apply directory labels
