github - the user gagging tool

It is no secret that there are no bugs in open source software. At least not from the developers' and maintainers' perspectives. User perspective does not matter and here is how.

Every open source developer is afraid of bug reports. They panic from every one submitted into their trackers and close most of them w/o resolution. github empowers them for that by allowing permanent closure of the tickets.

In a normal business environment even if a support person closes a user's ticket, further feedback from the user re-opens it. At least that is how companies with a shred of ethics operate (not Microsoft, no of course).

On github bug reports, closed w/o so much as asking "Can you upgrade to our next version, or are you stuck on the bugged old one for whatever reason?" cannot receive any further feedback or clarifications to the developer's complete misunderstanding of the problem.

github empowers the inept developers and gags the users in a "STFU!" way. Boo, github! You are monsters.
