Agreed!
The dev list is the only official way to communicate with all users of
NuttX. I would think ALL important discussions need to occur there.
Github is for developers; dev is for everyone.

Some important things to keep in mind to avoid these kind of frustration:
1) NuttX development is on GitHub, although this mailing list has dev@ in
its name, the development is not here. In the past Greg used to accept
patches over mailing list. But now NuttX is an Apache project TLP;
I would like to say that usually (and historically) Apache project
discussion *are* supposed to be on list (on the mailing list).
Some projects, like NuttX is doing, have moved to a GitHub centric way of
working.
There have been some discussions on the foundation's members only list
about whether this is desired, because there is significance to having
discussions archived on ASF hardware, which GitHub PRs are not. ASF cannot
ensure the longevity of discussions hosted on 3rd party sites.
So far those members discussions have not turned up anything conclusive.
I think there is significance to having technical discussions on list.
GitHub is convenient for reviewing individual lines of code and I'm okay
with that. But I think that bigger and more significant things that affect
everyone should be discussed on list, preferably before working hard on a
PR. This way the community can decide the best technical direction before
too much time is invested writing code.
Cheers
