Please don't. Issues are for bug reports and are not a support forum. If the repo maintainer asks in the README that usage questions should first be asked on Gitter, Slack, or Stack Overflow, please respect that request!

Where does a "hey, I have this idea, could send a PR if you like it" goes?

And what if the maintainer does not talk about any forum in the README? (What is, like, some 90% of the repos.)

Feature requests are fine, since, like bugs, they have a defined scope and will eventually be done. However, I've seen some major products move their feature requests to a platform like UserVoice that's designed to track votes and progress.

That's why I wish every project had an IRC channel or something - it's a PITA trying to contact a maintainer or project creator because they don't always include their email and github doesn't have private messages.

Poor documentation is a bug in itself.
