chase down discussion across multiple fora.
This is a good point. I am the one at fault here.
I have assumed from the get-go that some people would wish to
contribute via GitHub, hence my faithful mirroring of the Gitorious
repository there. Yesterday I made convenience use of the GitHub issue
tracker. This was in response to a rather unique situation, in which
one GitHub contributor put a large set of useful changes, with a large
set of useful comments, in one pull request. (The contributor first
attempted to use Gitorious and found it too difficult.) For
issue-management purposes I began to record individual issues from
this pull request in the GitHub issue tracker. What I'll do from now
on, and until some 'real' issue tracking solution is adopted, is avoid
any temptation to use the GitHub issue tracker and instead use the
mailing list.
