Hi,

+1 for one thing at the time.  I wanted to point this out "early" before
major investments are done in one direction or other.

Doable, just less easy.  And it's actually not quite the same because with
Github, I *think* if you enter something like #issue in the merge then the
comment made during the merge automatically gets added to the issue.  I
think. Something like that.

Not everyone is, but a LOT of people are.
Apparently 3M about 1 year ago:

May be good to include something in the generated docs to say where these
docs are generated from and when they were generated.  This will help
people understand how fresh they are and where they need to go if they want
to fix something in the docs.

You mean because they are in a separate repo or because there is no "index"?
In either case, could this be fixed by including either the URL to the docs
repo or the actual "index" in the rsyslog/rsyslog repo's README?

I agree.
