There are many (many) issues on GitHub. Some are very long. Some get popular on search engines.
Eventually, there are always people unfamiliar with norms posting on the end of a long issue with a "please help me with my issue".
While I know that GitHub tries to discourage such posts before they happen, they still happen.
Once they do, I'm hesitant to say anything because then my response also notifies 100 people that didn't care.
So now the user doesn't get help and doesn't know what they did wrong. Sure they could ask around but why not give them the feedback more directly?
I wish there was a button that was something like "privately suggest to this user that they should make a new separate issue".
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
