The ansible community does that too, and it's a pain. Instead of locking issues, they should be auto-transformed into a forum/community post, letting users discuss them if they want, and coordinate opening a new issue if necessary.
- thih9 6y agoI like this idea; especially from the point of view of future visitors, having a link that directs somewhere relevant is much more helpful than the “this issue is now closed” dead end.
- geerlingguy 6y agoI've argued constantly against the locking of old issues, sadly I've lost that battle. Locking issues is hostile to the user experience, especially for issues that could be deemed as bug reports and where users could still collaborate among themselves in the closed issue.
