And Github still doesn't allow you to disable pull requests or issues in a repository.
If I had an open source project, I would not publish it on Githib precisely for this reason. Open source doesn't necessarily imply open development, or horizontal organization, or constant support, or anything. It just implies that the source is open.
Plus, on the Internet it's very hard to tell when someone is demanding something from you from when someone is just making a suggestion.
- rirze 5y agoI'm pretty sure you can archive a repository and disable issues that way. I've seen that happen (unfortunately) to a few libraries I follow.
- Nition 5y agoYou actually can disable issues now; I'm glad they finally added it as an option.[1] [1] https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/managing-repository-settings/disabling-issues https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository...
- sodality2 5y agoI think issues are a great way to get people who are willing to maintain it, together and working on forking and getting on a single repo. Completely cutting it off is a bad idea. Perhaps disable notifications and pin an issue saying "I can no longer work on this project, feel free to fork it" and if people fork and good-faith maintain it, perhaps list it on the Readme or pinned issue.
