There is currently a move to disable issues (in opensource projects) and the driving factor behind this, is that other people can basically put stuff on your todo-list.
What would be better:
- make issues read-only for non-members
- track problems in discussions. often they're not really bugs and other people can directly help. If not, I'll convert the discussion to an issue when appropriate.
Benefit: bugs as discussions can be upvoted or downvoted so the community helps prioritizing.
- Arnavion 5y agoI haven't used Discussions, but why doesn't Issues already do what you're asking for? You don't have to consider every open issue as your TODO list; use one or more "Triaged" labels for that. And voting on issues already exists.
- SilverRed 5y agoI have not seen such a move in any of the projects I have looked at. Repo maintainers have either just allowed feature requests and ignore them but leave them there for either someone else to chip in on or just to show that it has already been requested. Or they will just close feature requests.
- fergie 5y agoI am pretty deep into open source, and have not done this myself, or seen this anywhere? Examples?
- pyr0hu 5y agoYeah, but the issues page is NOT a todo-list.
