Is this a proposal?
You hate GitHub issues, don't you? ;)
Discussion
It is not an easy balance and the outcome can be stressful for a dev.
Perhaps the Nostr GitHub replacement proposed by #[3] can fix this: tagged notes automatically fill a inbox and the dev can convert them in issues.
Yes, I do. I prefer TODO statements in the middle of the code.
I should just have my repos say: "instead of opening an issue, open a pull request that inserts a TODO statement in the appropriate place".
My codebases are littered with TODOs and FIXMEs.
I would actually love a CLI tool that scans a code base and emits some sort of structured / formatted output listing the TODOs 💡
I for one don't want non-devs putting TODOs in the code where they *think* the bug is. I know you are kidding a bit here, you like to kid.
To put a todo in the code the non-dev have to know how to use git, checkout the repo, commit and pull request.
This also is PoW :)
And the PR can be simply rejected like an issue, not more work for the manteiner.
Perhaps he doesn't kid...
