10 Ways to improve Github Issues

I love the new GitHub issues, here are some ideas to make it perfect, ordered by priority:

1. I should be able to pick the assignee and milestone via keyboard when creating a new ticket

2. Keyboard shortcuts should work everywhere. E.g. when viewing an existing issue, 'c' does not work.

3. After creating an issue, the assigned user / milestone should be remembered and pre-filled.

4. Allow assigning a different user while commenting. Right now this deletes my half-typed comment.

5. When typing the @ symbol to mention somebody, it should auto-complete the name.

6. Things feel a little sluggish right now, any speed improvements would be very welcome.

7. It seems that I can only change the due date of a Milestone, but not remove it entirely.

8. Bringing the voting feature back would be great for public repositories.

9. Show who is going to be notified when typing a comment / creating an issue. Similar to pull request.

10. Campfire Notifications for changes to issue would kick serious ass.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean in #4, but I do heartily agree with the rest of them.

@jperras: Try writing a comment (don't submit it yet), and then use the drop down on top to change the assigned user. The comment will be deleted due to a page reload.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that does suck.

It would be awesome if I had 'status' on the issues. Like 'assigned' 'started' 'finished' 'delivered' 'accepted' 'rejected'

@aseba Probably not useful for all users. But I think tags could work for it if the site as blazing fast and everything could be done via Keyboard.

The date picker steals the arrow keys #bug

@felixge true. Also, something that bothers me is the spamming of emails. Emails should only delivered to the oner affected...
