OK I don't want to go hunting if I can avoid it, and not clicking 3 or 4 
pages to get to that.

I have two basic methods at the moment.

Countdown.py (which is Jonas' great cli tool) it's what you see when I 
do the countdown (that's literally cut/paste).

Or

*if* i really have to go into gitab's UI I live here

https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/labels

and all I do is click on the 'merge request' link and this gives me the 
current MR with their label.

Apart from that the only time I edit or view and entire MR is to add my 
text/label.

While it may not seem such a big deal, when you have to refresh / click 
different pages or scroll here and there to see a 'button' or 'flashy 
icon' in an already-too-busy interface, it adds a lot of friction. So 
the less I have to click/do before I begin the testing/countdown process 
the better.
