<div><div>GitHub's issue tracker is pretty awful. Not only is it missing a lot of functionality that one would expect from an issue tracker, it also fails horribly at a vehicle for discussion. GitHub issues simply don't scale well for discussions that go beyond a handful of messages.<br></div>

<div>This was a very controversal topic. Overall my feeling is it would help people to keep up with discussions and to duck out of ones they don't care about. I wasn't the only one to feel this way and got some good support for this.<br></div>

<div>My inbox is 75% swift-evolution for things I don't care about. I think things have gotten a bit crazy as this week in the latest #NatashaTheRobot someone has now built a custom app just to organize the swift evolution talks<br></div>

<div>Think about this, someone has felt that following these discussions is that hard. That not only is two daily newsletters not enough but we should need a special app for this.<br></div>

<div>If this doesn't say the mailing list is a bad idea, I don't know what is. Add that to the face I've seen at least 5 or 6 times the same topic re-posted as it went on a wild tangent, people lost where somebody said something important or a bunch of other stuff was posted so everyone ignored that email.<br></div>
