Hum... Issue trackers are dedicated tools for software issues, bugs, design issues etc to be more precise, I doubt they can be really useful for casual users. Ubuntu LaunchPad have tried that "a bit" with the mostly disable automated reported tool and it does not have worked well. Forums works mostly well but have two kind of important issues: - for the user they normally need an account, one in nth, with a registration process and an easy push to "extended SSO" services like "sign-in with $GAFAM_name"; - for the project side they need resources and efforts. Long story short: ** we damn need Usenet **: for the user it's just a local application, locally searchable for saved contents at least, so the "available records" is fair being potentially be for anyone involved, subscribing a group does not require new accounts, tools, different UIs etc. For the project there is very little to maintain. Or: just think what we have, because usenet is still there even if almost abandoned, and what we lost choosing to "mock-solve" forums issues with proprietary platforms from Reddit to semi-proprietary ones like Discourse. All for what? A damn WebUI full of JS crap?
