This sounds like more 'enterprise' bureaucracy. Coming soon, overly complicated paperwork.

  If you've ever managed a big OSS project you'd not think of it like 'enterprise' bureaucracy but a time safer. If OSS users can't even be asked to fill out a minimum amount of information based on a template, then I have zero interest spending my free time helping out.

    Yes, OSS users have a very wide gamut — for everyone who sends a pull request with good troubleshooting and a patch, there must be half a dozen people who click New Issue, submit minimal information and, if you're lucky, come back a couple of days later and acknowledge that the real problem was a hacked up local install, using a 5 year old version of a core dependency, etc.

  mmmm yes, those unobtrusive opt-in enterprise features.

  In which it is demonstrated that absolutely no matter what GitHub does on this topic, someone will complain. Newsflash: You don't have to use these for your projects if you don't want to.

  I have this same feelings, but after thinking a bit, you'll see this is not bad. For big projects it will help an enourmous lot, but small projects don't need to use this, and probably will not, so it is still good.
