TFA mentions the community "paper cuts" issue tracker[1]. I'd love to know what's so hard about the standout top-voted issue[2] that it hasn't been implemented

  Probably nothing, just that it wasn't interesting to the devs (e.g. they don't feel that is a paper cut) and/or was not pushed/promoted by management, leading to nobody working on it. Plus I'm guessing many/most GH employees aren't looking at this, this kind of listings is generally a bummer/PITA, and fixing them is a thankless job: once you've done so, all you get is "finally, took you long enough".

    More like "Finally, thank God" (the implementer becomes a God for the day). This is the paradox of GitHub. The product itself is closed-source, so the outsiders cannot do the work to implement that feature themselves, no matter how much they want it.

  I've been using this app called Octobox. It does a really good job of letting you organize and handle your GitHub notifications. https://octobox.io/ https://octobox.io/
