It's hard enough to get people to search the open issues before opening a
new issue. But that isn't really the motivation. What drove me to propose
this was researching the reason for several changes and finding nothing but
the original commit comment. And that commit comment was sorely lacking in
terms of details such as the rationale for the change.
Also, I want to make it really clear that this would not be a
"restriction". I would never summarily reject someones non-trivial
pull-request solely because it wasn't tied to an open issue. Because this
is an open source project rather than internal to a company we cannot, and
do not, want to impose that level of control. What I'm wondering is if
others have been as frustrated as myself when trying to figure out why many
changes are being made and if we can foster an environment that encourages
a little more discussion before people go to the trouble of making a
pull-request.
