For me the main issue with git-bug is that they are not dogfooding it. However, it's also one of the few projects that is actually trying to solve the core problem, rather than skirting around it. (well I now learned of radicle in this thread and they seem to store issues in git and even have PR support I think)

This is incorrect.

    $ git remote get-url origin
    ssh://git@github.com/git-bug/git-bug.git

    $ for n in bugs identities; do echo "${n} on the remote: " $(git ls-remote origin "refs/${n}/\*" | wc -l); done
    bugs on the remote:  453
    identities on the remote:  311

That said, yes, GitHub is still our source of truth, as our web application does not currently support "guest" access, and there are other platform features that our community uses that we do not currently have support for (e.g. discussions and pull requests). Big changes to the web ui are coming soon, which will help to unlock the ability to do these things.

I've also been in talks with the Radicle team about possible collaboration.

Oh cool! I've come across git-bug a while ago, glad to see you're using it.

I didn't know git-bug doesn't support PRs yet. I think pull requests should be modeled as a kind of issue. It's an issue with some metadata that points to a commit (and besides the usual issue operations like add new comment or edit a comment, you also have the operation of editing the commit associated with the PR)

If git-bug gains suppport for Github discussions, it should also be able to import discussions from other places like a discourse forum. I think it would be kinda neat for projects that want to be self contained

Glad to hear about the web UI changes, git-bug has been really great for my projects that exist across forges so I look forward to testing it out :)
