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.
