Or you could just treat issues as another kind of patch, which anyone could send by email or pull request, and maintainers could accept, reject, modify, clarify, etc. It's true this would be harder for less technical users to submit pr

I use it too, and it's been shockingly effective for something so simple. I find the prompt to _think_ about what I _really_ want to do incredibly inspiring It's also inspiring in another way, as a solopreneur-hacker-bootstrap su

What makes you think this would be against the agreement? Is crust a religion? An disability? "Dirty" isn't a protected class. I've personally experienced that some hosts refuse to rent to unmarried couples. It was in

It's good to see language communities/committees taking steps to improve UX. That said, since we're all using this to announce our idiosyncratic package managers, I use Nix.
