This is a little tangential, but GH is slowly but steadily plodding ahead with their issues/project beta which may eventually yield some new levers on that side of things. I described this previously in the post linked below (though I didn’t realize I was quoting sort numbers and not issue IDs):
I think the issues I had in mind as being most helpful were:
- Issue level custom metadata #277
- New automation functions for Projects #280
- Create custom automation flows #281
- Automatically add new issues from a repository into projects #286
I don’t really want to encourage waiting on GH, since the wait for the features we need might be unbounded. But seeing their steady progress (issues - GitHub Changelog gives a more digestible view into their cadence, I guess) has given me some hope that it’s getting “real” enough that it’s worth thinking about how we could put it to use (and weighing it against alternatives that could work in the here and now).
