But the most important thing is that no one is suggesting "eschewing GitHub". The topic of this thread was listed in the OP: How to make it easy/easier for people without a MS account to contribute to the project. This does not affect users having/using/creating MS accounts at all. Full disclosure: Yes, I do not touch anything Microsoft unless my employer needs that. I'm even lucky enough to have a $DAYJOB that does not require it. But that was not discussed or mentioned and it's _not_ the topic. Let's please stay on topic, thank you. The topic is "GitHub independent issue tracker". Moving the issue tracker *away* from GitHub is what I’m referring to as "eschewing GitHub" and is what I think would be a mistake. Perhaps that’s not what you were suggesting. For just filing issues I could see something like a web form with Google authentication, proxied by a bot into GitHub. That is, something similar to what was used during the migration of issues to GitHub. But that will make it difficult or annoying to interact beyond the initial filing, I would think. Perhaps someone with similar motivations as you has already created something similar. (There’s a valid discussion to be had about whether having GitHub as a central monoculture for most things open source is a good thing or not. But that’s not on topic here, and at the moment it is what it is, regardless of opinions on the owner structure.) //jb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
