@yaxu I was just thinking about this yesterday with an open source project hosted on github. Often the only way you can communicate with the creators about a project is through issues and bug reports, which doesn't really feel appropriate for discussions.

@dook Yes it would be great to have a button for this kind of humane feedback on github/gitlab! Bug reports are helpful, but I sometimes find feature requests massively demotivating, e.g. when they come across as entitled..

@yaxu I looked into it, and there's a tab in github for discussions! It just isn't enabled by default, probably a new feature too. I sure didn't know about it, so I'm going to go and add it to some of my projects!

@dook @yaxu you have a very good point. Issuing a ticket should not be the only cause of communication.
