Why users cannot create Issues directly (Ghostty)

Personally, I dig it! Selected parts from linked page:

"""Unlike some other projects, Ghostty does not use the issue tracker for discussion or feature requests. Instead, we use GitHub discussions for that. Once a discussion reaches a point where a well-understood, actionable item is identified, it is moved to the issue tracker. This pattern makes it easier for maintainers or contributors to find issues to work on since every issue is ready to be worked on.

This approach is based on years of experience maintaining open source projects and observing that 80-90% of what users think are bugs are either misunderstandings, environmental problems, or configuration errors by the users themselves.[...]"""

Kind of an unstructured Basecamp ShapeUp where the "ask" has been shaped already through requirements gathering and bets made.

Issues simply don't scale. Using discussions as a filter is a good idea.

If you spend more time closing issues than creating them manually from discussions, the math adds up.

For example, memory leak investigation is currently spread across discussions, x/twitter and discord https://x.com/mitchellh/status/2004938171038277708 https://x.com/alxfazio/status/2004841392645050601 https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/10114 https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/9962

but has not graduated to issue worthy status
