Description

Problem: there are quite a few new issues filed that are not bug reports, but rather some questions or comments about runc.

Current solution: mark those with question label (thanks a lot @AkihiroSuda for doing that).

Proposed solution: enable github discussions (https://docs.github.com/en/discussions).

The benefits are:

  • issues won't be polluted with questions;
  • discussions is they don't have opened/closed state, so they don't have to be closed;

The only caveat I can think of is:

  • we'll have yet another thing to maintain / moderate.

All in all, I think it makes sense, but let's see what other @opencontainers/runc-maintainers think.

Contributor guide

Open the contributing guide

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Read the issue's GitHub Discussions documentation link and compare it with the current use of the question label. Review the eight-comment thread for maintainer feedback; this RFC is done only when maintainers decide whether to enable Discussions and the setting is applied if approved.
