So, if we don't want a third person to trigger this action, a simple fix could be adding a check before labeling.

my-events-nodejs/index.js

Lines 24 to 29 in 00cbb99

	await octokit.rest.issues.addLabels({
	owner: context.repo.owner,
	repo: context.repo.repo,
	issue_number: issue.number,
	labels: [label]
	});

So, instead of this, we can have:

const context = github.context;
const issue = context.payload.issue;
if(context.repo.owner === issue.actor) {
  await octokit.rest.issues.addLabels({
        owner: context.repo.owner,
        repo: context.repo.repo,
        issue_number: issue.number,
        labels: [label]
      });
}

I am not so sure about issue.actor, although I tried looking up the docs and found these.
