I'm not sure if we didn't have this discussion at some point and decided that Feature requests are ok to have in the repo (but maybe @NoelStephensUnity can correct me). There are some ups and downs since some feature requests should be definetly in discussions but for some users can be really helpful with some initial code changes suggestions (but that's my perspective, I might be wrong)

I am in this same mindset. It should be "ok" for a user to provide a feature request via GitHub (since the majority of feature requests are actually done in GitHub anyway).

I think Emma has some good arguments of

  • If you look at the open issues with type:feature on them, only one is from this year.
  • There may be a point that the tag was useful when NGO was under active development and growth, but doesn’t fit our current workflow with the project.
  • We have an option already for “Feedback” that points to the discussions board.

Some feature requests can be usually resolved by pointing the correct solution/workaround and if something would be interesting then we could import it to Jira as a task. Another option for users would be to create PRs in the repo so we can better understand what they want to do (based on changes and PR description)

@NoelStephensUnity what you think? With those arguments I think I would be ok with removing it/pointing to discussions
