Admittedly I don’t have experience contributing to FOSS projects (yet), but like many companies we use the feature branch workflow, and have minimal conflicts; both on tasks and in the code itself. The reason is (and I’m stating the somewhat obvious) that we have engineering managers whose primary job is coordinating the tasks between teams and within each team. This is done externally via Jira, and to me it reflects on a weak spot of GitHub if it wants to be “the place to manage a project” - it’s good for managing a code base but lacks the tools to manage it as a project/product.

GitHub has been working on this recently and made pretty significant improvements with the new Org Projects and Tasklists in issues.

Project management for my day job happens entirely in GitHub and while it’s not perfect, it’s significantly better than it was even 12 months ago.
