Public repositories can vary quite widely in how they handle discussions. While most, from my experience, use a tracker (e.g. GitHub Issues) for bugs or features, there doesn't seem to be a good consensus for how to handle discussions and general questions [1] [2] [3] [4]. Some orgs use Issues for everything. Others have a mailing list or use Gitter, Slack, or IRC channels. Some refer general questions to Stack Overflow. Others have all of the above.How does your org handle general questions/discussions? How did you settle on that decision?
