Disappointed not to see my own personal favourite, at least 50 issues raised for feature requests with no other contributions.


achievement name: "I'm more of an idea person" or perhaps "chop-chop"


“Product owner”


Blue-Sky Thinking


What about one for "I made 10 contributions that have been sitting unreviewed for more than a year"?

Nah that one should go to the user who proposes massive and sweeping architectural changes, complete with diagrams and over engineering in every facet-regardless of whether the project needs it, but never makes any attempt to do it.


for normal user this is the only way to contact author.


I agree with you and don't necessarily think this is "bad," but GitHub probably isn't the best place to just dump a ton of feature requests. And if that's the only easy way to contact the author, there's always a decent chance that's a deliberate choice.


I wanted to indicate this is why there are so many accounts don't do any contribution.


> GitHub probably isn't the best place to just dump a ton of feature requests

Isn't this the entire point of having a feature request tag for issues?


I just meant in the "do this thing for me" (x100) way. Surely there's a more meaningful way to interact as a user, even a non-technical one.


It lets devs easily ignore feature requests most of the time.

This is not in a cynical way it's just likely not urgent.


„Idea guy“
