In an ideal world, people would feel just as welcome on our GH as they do here, if that's not the case I'd like to start fixing that first.
I think this is what Forem should always strive for.
For example, I've read issues in other projects where maintainers tell people to not use the issue tracker for X or Y. Maybe people do it because they don't know what's the right place.
With that experience in mind, someone might refrain from posting an issue in Forem because they'd be giving some more work for maintainers (for "silly" stuff). But also they wouldn't know what is be the right place.
Edited for clarity on who'd need confidence to post issues

As someone who contributed to our codebase you hopefully know we're a friendly bunch. The worst that could happen is that the issue gets closed with an explanation. Also it literally is our work, unlike many open-source maintainers, we get paid for it.

Ah yeah. I wasn't telling this because of me but for other people 😅
Sorry not making that clear
Anyone feeling unsure about posting issues on GitHub should see my issue list 😂😍
