That thread really makes me sad, because all of those posts should be GitHub issues.

For instance, there is no meaningful way to go back and tell what has been fixed, short of asking individual commenters to strike through and link to the respective pull request or delete their post altogether.

What I am trying to do here is figure out which of those issues to prioritize, ideally those which are not just paper cuts. Dealing with the paper cuts alone would a full time job on its own.
