I think the current policy if people have questions about a DANDI set is to try to have them ask it on the GitHub issues for the copy of that particular DANDI set

E.g., if I have a question about DANDI set 000350 then I go to https://github.com/dandisets/000350/issues and post an issue there, which will hopefully automatically ping the right people to answer the question

This process would be more obvious if there was a button on each page of the archive, when I'm looking at the main page of a DANDI set. Maybe called 'Ask a question' or something like that, and it directs them to the issues page when they press it. Or perhaps GitHub 'discussions' might be a better format for that? Either way.

@yarikoptic Do you know if it's possible, when the dandisets on https://github.com/dandisets are created, if the GitHub API would allow automatically setting the owners of the DANDI set so have a 'watch' status set on it so that they automatically get notified of questions?

ATM users of the dandi archive might not even know that there are github repositories associated with them.
"Ask a question" could indeed me "Open an issue labeled with question label" . Adding a label I believe might not be possible via URL to open an issue but we could have dandisets/ organization wide action based on https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-issues-and-pull-requests/adding-labels-to-issues to do that based on some marker in the issue title/text which would be formed from some template.

it should be possible AFAIK. This and anything related -- let's formalize in #1595 . I think we could add a section there "Changes on dandi-archive Web UI" outlining what buttons we want to add (e.g., have a web ui Section with buttons: "See issues", "File an issue", "Ask a question" or alike)
