At scale, the GitHub issue tracker is limited even for the intended purpose.
I do like Discourse because of the auto-suggestion, tiered moderation, proper threading, categorization, and other features that would (hopefully) *cut down* on the number of pings we see. Discourse also has at least one-way GitHub cross-linking (mentioning a GitHub issue in discourse will expand to a short summary, IIRC).
