You can now see repository member role labels directly in the pull request list view for public repositories. Role labels, such as First-time contributor, Contributor, and Member, now appear inline with other pull request metadata in the list view. Previously, these labels were only visible inside the pull request comment box, requiring maintainers to individually open each pull request to assess contributor context.

The pull request list view showing different repository role member labels

A few things to note:

  • The First-timer and First-time contributor labels can only be viewed by repository owners, organization members, or direct collaborators.
  • The Member label is visible to all users unless the user sets it to private, in which case the label will only be seen by other organization members.

This change makes it easier to:

  • Triage pull requests faster by understanding a contributor’s history at a glance.
  • Surface first-time contributions so you can give new contributors the attention and welcome they deserve.
