Hi there! I am such a big big fan of the project, and wanted to put together a demo of how this might work... hopefully it's not too forward of me.

No pressure if you'd rather not engage here, but I truly feel that GitHub features (@mentions, cross-referencing issues, labels, milestones, notifications, etc etc) would work very well, and perhaps much better than the community feature of Patreon, at least for your passionate technical supporters who would be down to help triage issues and chime in with support as well :) Also, doing support in the open allows customer to see one another and understand common asks, which I think passionate users would appreciate.

For now, I was hoping to add some of my feature requests, and perhaps link them up with some requests I found in the Patreon community threads. (I'll avoid cross-linking from the community posts for now, as that would probably confuse the situation. BUT if you do feel like making it official, I'm happy to point people in those community posts to the perhaps longer-term convos here!)

@mxpv did I track you down correctly? ;)

Regardless of what you want to do, I can transfer ownership of this github org to you! (just DM me on Twitter at @patconnolly from the @pod_sync account, and I'll know it's you!)

Ok, got your Twitter DM and invited you to be the owner of this org, @mxpv

Might you consider using this issue tracker? :)

Hey :) I think we can do that. The only thing which bothers me is that github is used mostly be developers and it's not may be convenient for everyone.

Hm. Good point, and I respect that. I suppose I saw your open-minded response to someone else's "open source" question, and so perhaps jumped the gun on hoping the code miiiight be here one day :)

For what it's worth, I believe I've seen other projects take the angle of creating simple little apps that create github tickets through webforms, but I understand if GitHub still doesn't feel like the right tool
