I am wondering whether it is possible to forward replies from vim-dev to github (*at least* when user does “Reply to all”). With code.google.com issue tracker it was not uncommon situation when such forwarding resulted in discussion started in the issue tracker continued in vim-dev list where original author does not see it. Note that GH allows editing comments and original post itself both by author and by people with RW access. Edits are not sent to the user currently and I think they will neither be sent to the mailing list. Also GH allows subscribing to the whole issue tracker. Thus *assuming used solution is the same as the former one with Google issue tracker* to avoid possible discussions that can be based on outdated posts and are not seen by some of the original authors (who are not subscribed here) it is better to either officially ban issue reports on vim-dev or disable issue tracker. Though I hope “reply all” reply will copy reply to GH avoiding the main problem. > > -- > BRIDGEKEEPER: What is your favorite colour? > GAWAIN: Blue ...
