When someone adds the needs info label, the bot's message is intentionally very generic, because we sometimes aren't sure what an issue is trying to do at all. However, there are other cases where the type of an issue is clear, but not enough information has been provided to respond to it (e.g. if the issue is proposing a new behavior but is insufficiently detailed about what the new behavior is). In these cases, the generic "needs info" message isn't as applicable.
It would be nice if the bot looked at the other labels on the issue, and gave a specialized message. For example, if enhancement, rule, and needs info were added at the same time, the bot would ask the user to fill out the rule change proposal template. If bug and needs info were added at the same time, the bot would ask the user to fill out the bug report template.

Question: Should the bot be agile enough to edit its own message as the labels change? (e.g., if we started with triage/needs info and then edited to be bug/evaluating/needs info, it could edit its previous message with the bug report template)
I wonder if it being "dumber" is actually better in this case - i.e. it creates a new comment with the relevant information whenever the "needs info" label is added based on whatever labels it has at that moment. I think it'll make easier to understand for those viewing the conversation after the fact.
