That was specifically about GitHub Issues vs. GitHub Discussions. It's
often not clear if something is a bug or not, so moving items between those
two tabs can get confusing quickly. It wasn't my remark, but in the one
case where I tried out Discussions my experience was indeed the same -
visitors to the repo don't quite know which one to use.
