Most projects on GitHub don't have a mailing list. Turning off issues makes it hard to tell if a project is in good shape. It prevents users who have relevant knowledge from helping users who don't.
Solving a problem together means agreeing on the problem and the solution before someone spends days working on it.
- growse 6y agoIt's a trade-off, for sure. But it's on the project owner to make that call. It's not always the case that one model is best for any given project/maintainer/set of users. As for project health, I treat the git log as a far more reliable indicator than the issues list. That shows me what's actually getting done.
