There needs to be a filtering of issues down to maintainers.
Github should think about how to build this IMO, it would make things much better if there were levels of involvement:
-1) Asked for help before and NOT valid
-1) Pull request not valid
-1) Noisey user (might have positive Karma but often creates irrelevant issues).
0) Not asked before
1) Asked before and valid
2) Asked before and committed fix
3) Pull request valid
4) Pull request merge
5) Complex feature merged
6) Contributor
7) Maintainer
Now each of these can be discussed how to get there but if you could by default only see one level above and 3 levels below that would help a lot.
The default count of issues and view of maintainers/contributors on github should not include anything below level 1.
- mcguire 10y agoYou're bringing back memories. I was an AIX sysadmin (among other things) when IBM added a new layer of tech support because too many issues were making it through to the developers. You had the script readers, someone to read the man page to you, then the new layer, that I never reached because I don't like yelling and we only had 8 servers. Then, I think, you got to someone who could triage issues.
- andy_ppp 10y ago>>> someone to read the man page to you If it's in the docs/easily googleable could be another minus.
