I disagree with this one, I find mailing lists much more well-formatted, readable and conversation/discussion friendly than PRs on GitHub (it mostly has to do it the web UI, TBH [1]). > - If the feature is implemented, I like to link that commit or PR to > that issue so that the entire history and reasoning behind a feature > addition (esp. if it's a breaking one) can be followed through > hyperlinks from the commit log to the issue thread. But it isn't this particular case. I only emailed asking if he would have interest on merging his work on Org-mode core, which isn't really a feature or a modification on the codebase. Nonetheless, one of the first things I said was that I could open an issue on the public repo if he'd rather have it documented there as well. I just felt more inclined to send him an e-mail because 1. he made it public, and 2. I feel more comfortable using e-mails for communicating such things.

The question here is not exactly an issue to be fixed, but something much more complex. > - Conversations and discussions are better formatted and readable in > the issue threads. How so? No branching of replies (fixed linear layout). No attachments. Often yet another flavor of markdown. > - If the feature is implemented, I like to link that commit or PR to > that issue so that the entire history and reasoning behind a feature > addition (esp. if it's a breaking one) can be followed through > hyperlinks from the commit log to the issue thread. You can equally link a public email exchange. Best, Ihor

Thanks! Just saying this based on my personal preference. I would rather prefer that people directly open an issue on Github than emailing me personally. Reasons: - Issues section is there for a reason. If the repo owner did not like people opening Issues, they would disable that section. - Conversations and discussions are better formatted and readable in the issue threads. - If the feature is implemented, I like to link that commit or PR to that issue so that the entire history and reasoning behind a feature addition (esp. if it's a breaking one) can be followed through hyperlinks from the commit log to the issue thread.
