Not so. The &quot;Dear Github&quot; post is all about bug tracking facilities in github, nothing more. Previous versions of Github had a more functional issue tracker - it went largely ignored and github wisely removed the unwanted cruft from their code base. Github is not JIRA. OSS projects are free to use whatever bug-tracking facilities they choose. Just like everyone else. I would like to see better API&#x27;s from github to support this.<p>On to Linus. There are 12000 contributors to the linux kernel, If Linus sucks at anything, it would be his ability to &quot;chase away everyone&quot;. You seem to be of the opinion that if there were more than 12k Linux would somehow be &quot;better&quot;. This is entirely conjecture on your part, and many would argue that Linus is fact too lenient as it stands.
