GitHub recently introduced issue types. In my opinion, this is a methodological mistake—every ticket in a bug tracker should be a bug, not a task or a feature request. Mozilla team even published a paper about this, in 2002 (we discussed it in the OSBP course, last year, in this lecture). However, if Microsoft insists on categorizing issues, where’s the "question" type? Just one more reason to loathe Microsoft :)
