UPDATE: since https://github.com/isaacs/github was (wrongly, IMHO) archived, there is an official GitHub community discussion forum, so dear-github should redirect to that now.

Original text below:


This repository was created for a specific purpose, which was fulfilled back in 2016. However people are still submitting issues about GitHub to the repository's issue tracker. This effectively fragments and weakens the GitHub community, because https://github.com/isaacs/github was already established in 2013 for the same purpose, and has acquired very significant momentum since then. It is more efficient for the community to pool its efforts in a single place, so make an issue template which explains the current situation and encourages people to submit issues to isaacs instead of here.

This partially addresses #207. When combined with a PR auto-closer bot as suggested in isaacs/github#1191, the combination could be considered as a full solution for #207.

@koenpunt Archiving sounds like a good idea, but there still needs to be a redirect to
https://github.com/isaacs/github/ so that people know where to track issues.

@aspiers Honestly, since your original issue, this repo has become stale/obsolete, attracting spam, mostly. It's probably time to archive it (since enough time now) in favor of the official, Isaacs', knowing it can always be unarchived later, e.g., whenever GitHub reaches enshittification lvl 3, since we're pretty much already @ lvl 2.
