Hi everyone! 👋

Amazing to see so many ideas from the community.

Personally, I went for the Maintainers Must Haves category with workflows that use a recipe to help out maintainers triage and work with external contributions, see it here: dev.to/lirantal/the-maintainers-ci...

I learned quite a bunch of things about GitHub Actions myself, and definitely new workflows that I'm going to adopt for my own open source repositories.

Goodluck everyone and keep on posting your ideas 🚀

What do you do with issues with dozens of comments? Close it or convert it to discussion?

I don't have an advice, but I've made an action to grab the most reacted comments in a long-winded issue, turn them into clickable elements, then insert them into the issue body.

Hope this will make your open source management a little bit easier.
