Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Proposal: allocate Github issue instead of wiki page
 to BIP discussion
Precedence: list

I often find myself wanting to leave relatively small comments on BIP's =
that are IMO not worth bothering this list.

By default each BIP has a wiki page for discussion, e.g. =
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/wiki/Comments:BIP-0150
This is linked to from the Comments-URI field in the BIP.

In order to leave a comment, you have to edit the wiki page. This =
process seems a bit clunky.

I think it would be better to use Github issues, with one Github issue =
for each BIP.

One concern might be that the ease of use of Github issues would move =
discussion away from this list. The issue could be temporarily locked to =
prevent that. The issue description could contain a standard text =
explaining what should be discussed there and what would be more =
appropriate to post on the mailinglist.

Another concern might be confusing between PR's which create and update =
a BIP, and the discussion issue.

If people think this a good idea, would the next step be to propose a =
change to the process here?
=
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0002.mediawiki#BIP_comment=
s

Or would this be a new BIP?
