No problem. :)<p>There&#x27;s no silver bullet to triage, but assistance from the platform can help in small ways that add up over time. For a project like Rust, for instance, we <i>need</i> a test case with each bug report, without which reproduction, triage, and regression testing is impossible. An issue template that suggests a test case would go a long way.<p>Another example, from a different project I&#x27;ve worked on: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is a roguelike game that recently switched its canonical repo to Github, but was unable to switch its issue tracker to Github Issues because they rely on users being able to attach savegames with crash reports. Github Issues only allows images to be attached, so unless they expect users to steganograph their savegame into an image macro then GI is simply a non-starter.
