If you maintain an open-source project in the range of 10k-200k lines of code, add an ARCHITECTURE document next to README and CONTRIBUTING. Keep it short: every recurring contributor will have to read it. Only specify things that are unlikely to frequently change. Don’t try to keep it synchronized with code. Instead, revisit it a couple of times a year.

This site adds additional context to GitHub Issue labels. The intention here is to be descriptive regarding the Open Source development process, not prescriptive. In other words it is an attempt to document how developer generally apply these labels, and not attempt to impose some kind of standard.
