TBH, maintaining forums would be just a headache for me. If we want
those, I would have to hand over moderation duties basically
completely because I simply don't have the time for it.

Sorry for being so lax on monitoring the forums. If they come back in
their existing form, I will have to hand over the reins on them to
someone else.

The issue tracker is OK for program feature proposals, and great for
program bug reports (of course). It's greate for making Big Important
Decisions too. However I feel it'd be an awful place for artist
community growth. I need more active report triagers already, and
would need active post moderators too if we start using it as "the
forums", whatever that might mean.

There will even come a time when we have to crack down on feature
proposals on the issue tracker, I worry. I'm becoming burnt out by a
recent flush of (pretty good) suggestions already, so it's clear that
even the current picture doesn't scale.
