This is a very emotionally charged and drastic approach to open source. I am not seeing the benefits of doing this, I can only see downsides: - Users who are loyal who cannot code are discouraged from voicing issue or asking for help - Users who can code are dejected because that is the only way they bring up an issue first without coding. Sometimes the creator is best suited to give advice or to simply do the thing at initial report or query. - Makes the project look closed off. - Lack of community and vibrancy, there are no issues, is it finished -- encounter issue -- bad software. - Why are there no issues, is this developer giving up?
