Customer is  requesting  to add custom labels (key-value pairs) in the repository settings in Quay Registry. This feature would allow to better organize and manage repositories by assigning metadata that can help identify ownership, environment, usage, or any other relevant information.

For example, Customer wants to add labels like:

team: platform to indicate which team owns the repository
environment: production to identify the environment
criticality: high to specify the repository’s importance
Having this feature would provide more flexibility for automation, reporting, and governance. Labels could also help in filtering and grouping repositories more efficiently in the UI and API.

Use Case:

Identify which teams are responsible for specific repositories.
Classify repositories by environment (dev, staging, prod).
Tag repositories with compliance or security-related information.
Facilitate filtering and searching based on custom metadata.
Suggested Implementation:

Allow adding/editing/deleting custom labels directly from the repository settings in the UI and API.
Display labels clearly in the repository’s overview.
Enable querying and filtering repositories by labels through the Quay API.
