(2/?)
Also, being a repo doesn't seem to be helping us get eyes on Fediverse Ideas. The last 19 FI issues were opened by me. The last one by anyone else was 4 months ago. Very few of these have attracted any comment.
More importantly, are developers the main target audience for FI? Isn't this something where we want "power users" to describe our pain points in careful detail, for the edification of devs? Making it a forum category instead of a repo may make it easier for non-devs to join in.
