Here are the main reasons we're doing this:

  • We get lots of issues from users that are of the 'Hey debug this for me' type.
  • The amount of issues we get prevents us from adequately addressing PRs.
  • If we solely focused our efforts on PRs, we'd likely get more PRs in and advance the library faster.
  • Given the volume of issues we receive and the number of open issues we have, users are less inclined to use node-soap in the fear it is overly buggy.
  • We have so many open issues it's almost impossible to know which ones are still valid.
  • Github issues aren't the best mechanism for community support. Something like Google Groups or Gitter would best serve the interests of most issues we receive.
