> Ideally an issue is not a conversation between a “user” and a “maintainer” though, but a place for a community to coordinate around a bug or feature request. What do you mean by this? A bug report or feature request will generally come from a “user” and is likely of interest to a “maintainer”. What should the two do if not converse? Neither the maintainer nor the user really knows whether or not an issue will be “reasonably useful to anyone else” without talking about it.
