Thanks Matthew!

I will say one thing, I agree that there are major costs, but the longer I work 
in this space the more I appreciate the benefits there might be to *not* being 
on GitHub. I recently (finally) read Nadia Eghbal's Working in Public, where 
she points out that *adding* friction to the process of users commandeering 
maintainers' attention might be a good thing — commons tend to be depleted when 
there is no cost to exploiting them, and open source communities are an 
attention commons where maintainers' attention is constantly being used 
unsustainably.

That's been bouncing around in my head for a few months. This post just adds 
fuel to that idea.

Juan.
