Because most open source projects these days use GitHub. A lot of users have a GitHub account, so it's easy for them to report issues on a GitHub issue tracker for various projects with a single account.
GitHub also is better designed and more familiar than Launchpad IMHO. What's also nice is the mentioning feature ( https://github.com/blog/821 -mention-somebody-they-re-notified ). And pull requests also seem to be easier on GitHub? Oh and..., for the killer feature: GitHub supports Emojis: https://github.com/blog/2119-add-reactions-to-pull-requests-issues-and- comments ;D -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to onboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615575 Title: Emoji support Status in Onboard: Confirmed Status in onboard package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Any plans for emoji support?
