Hello,

While getting new contributors is fundamental for any open source projects,
I would be on the side to explore other possibilities than this one. Let me
explain my concerns.

First of all, that is an extra tool. I am not a fan on adding extra tools
on top of GitHub, like gerrithub or other review platforms. Especially
tools that would not be used by us as a team.

When we redirect our users to a third party platform, we are 'endorsing'
then in some way. I have not investigated the specifics of the proposed
platforms, but we would have to review the tos of that platform and look if
that is in line with our expectations.

We have got in the past first time contributors starting features,
implementations, and then vanish before the code is in a mergeable state.
We should find a compromise so that such a platform to embark more people
does not lead us in that direction more often.

I also note that the scope is unclear. Is that for the react app? For TSDB?
It would be strange to have a solution that would only work for one of
them, e.g. react, because otherwise if someone comes with a solution for
TSDB, we would end up with two solutions.

I do note that the open source version is limited to 50h/month; and that
the application itself has < 1000 users according to GitHub.
