Hi @funnypolynomial,

How issues are used is generally up to the maintainer or the community that work on a particular repository. Some people like to keep all communication about a project in GitHub and use issues to discuss all aspects of the project, including long term strategy. Other people want to keep issues solely for bug tracking.

No matter how you use issues, it can be helpful to use labels to categorize different types of issues such as discussions, feature requests, and bug reports so that you can better track and respond to these various types of issues.

For more information, you may be interested in the GitHub Guide, Mastering Issues.

Thanks!
