It will only encourage more > developers to be active on github. A but related to this, but is Stack Overflow not *the* place to ask and answer questions? There even is a "glusterfs" tag, and questions and answers can be marked even better than with GitHub (imho): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/glusterfs From a quick look, users are asking more questions there than in the gluster/glusterfs repository. For users it should not need to matter what repository contains the sources (glusterfs, glusterfs-coreutils, heketi, gluster-block, ...), which is something they need to understand for GitHub Issues (or get ignored or ping-ponged around?).
