A bit meta. It seems like it would be nice to have no-action tickets for open source projects.
Quite often you would want to just thank somebody, or say that you would prefer it that way and don't understand why is it this way or it would be cool to have this or that, but of course opening ticket on github feels like wasting time of the maintainer and especially when you have some feedback like e.g. what would you like to see or what you do and don't like it feels entitled because well you can do it yourself, you can fork etc.
It would need to be low friction for both sides. Preferably with no way to respond so that there's zero pressure and little time waste for maintainers.
Mail feels like you want something, it works for thank you but still feels bad on receiving end when you just ignore them.
You can comment on our blog, or open an issue. Frankly, we get so little feedback that dealing with new issues is not a hassle.
I understand, and reaching out like this seems like a great idea and time well spent, I meant it would be nice to have something like this in general, for different. kind of projects.
