- layer8 4mo agoIf issues with the program are caused by behavior of the maintainer, it doesn’t seem inappropriate.

During an emergency situation where an issue is running out of control, the priority is to evaluate and contain the problem then address it, it is not the time to assign blame and quote regulations which weren’t followed. That’s for later, when everything is stable, together with understanding why the rules weren’t followed and if you can improve that process for the future.
- fg137 4mo agoDisagree. Issue trackers are used for all sorts of things in all kinds of projects. Go look around, plenty of examples out there. Unless the maintainers have explicitly specified how issue trackers are supposed to be used, (reasonable) discussions are usually allowed on issue trackers, especially GitHub Issues.
