With that in mind, I’m wondering why they’re using GitHub issues at all. When I started browsing through the Mattermost project I quickly felt disoriented by the sheer amount of different apps they’re using:
- JIRA
- GitHub issues
- UserVoice
- Discourse
If I wanna make a feature request, I have to search all of these first to make sure it hasn’t already been covered somewhere. Taking GitHub Issues out of the picture would be a welcome simplification. They could just link to their public JIRA instance from their README.
