This issue is being closed to keep the number of issues in our inbox on a manageable level, we are closing issues that are not going to be addressed in the foreseeable future: We look at the number of votes the issue has received and the number of duplicate issues filed. More details here. If you disagree and feel that this issue is crucial: We are happy to listen and to reconsider. If you wonder what we are up to, please see our roadmap and issue reporting guidelines. Thanks for your understanding and happy coding! |
I really don't like projects that automatically close legitimate issues. What's the point? All it does in this case is to say: it is OK to wrongly set executable permissions on files.
In a true open source project, I am included in that we. There is no hard distinction between you and your community, the issues are not only for you, they are for all potential contributors. (Though I agree that calls on feature requests are yours to make.) By all means tag issues to show that they aren't on your team's roadmap, but don't throw away work. Note: the bot links to Out of Scope Feature Requests; this issue isn't a feature request. Sorry for going on a bit, but over-eager bot issue triage wastes a lot of effort. |
