Gamah: no it isn't, but a decent community-driven project will want to hear their opinion

Gamah: yes, but when there are 200 issues, it would be nice to have a way for the community to vote which is the most pressing

Gamah: voting would give a general idea, discussions go deeper

Gamah: maintaining an own fork is usually pretty overkill for a fix :)

marduk191: what if there are 20 core issues. What's the most critical? That's my point with the voting. Dev can assess the criticality of an issue yes, but without fine-grained tagging and instructions on how to use them, the criticality-level loses it's usefulness in larger projects

marduk191: how does one person estimate the criticality of an issue?

"Issue: this thing I want doesn't exist in this project" - that's not an issue with project, it's an issue with yourself :)

marduk191: that's my point exactly

"I want that feature" or "I want that issue to be fixed ASAP"

It would be an incentive even for non-techical people to register to github, if they want to broaden their userbase ;)

I think both would be useful. Upvoting issues for prioritization AND separate votable feature requests to help with contributing

marduk191: just had to check the top feature requests they have. Dated 2012-2013...

That's just frustrating. I know it's they can do whatever they like with their own business, but I don't believe it would be a horrible idea to have a couple of people dedicated to community-requested features and fixes

And I have to add that while Spotify has a decent solution for the community to pitch in, they don't seem to implement the requested features

That would actually be great in OSS projects. "Hey 80% of our active userbase voted against this. Maybe it isn't the way to go"

Spotify has a nice feature for this with their "kudos": https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/idb-p/ideas_live and yes, many other companies have similiar functionality too, this was just an example that came to mind
