<i>I would love to know what the reasonable approach would be ideal from the people talking bad things about GitHub.</i><p>Treat their software development savvy usebase as stakeholders in their ongoing project rather than unwashed masses consuming a loss leader?<p>A mutually-agreeable reasonable approach probably doesn&#x27;t exist.  Limited visibility into the project may be considered exposing too much of the business for GitHub&#x27;s tastes.  So it will continue to be a one-way relationship, with all the baggage that comes with a one-way relationship (incl &quot;talking bad things&quot;).
