It was not a forum.

You can also use IRC or write MacroMates directly:

It’s ironic you state this as a problem, not considering that 
previously I was forced to go to github.com roughly five times a day to 
assign labels to issues, search for duplicates to properly link them, 
engage in one-on-one troubleshooting, and for issues that got closed, 
try to state why it was closed in a way that wouldn’t upset the 
submitter.

Not saying there wasn’t value in the issue tracker, there certainly 
was, and part of me feels bad for having closed it, but it was just too 
much of a distraction.

Long-term it might be back, we may try another issue tracker, or maybe 
even a forum. But for now, I’ll just focus on development, and I can 
assure you, despite having closed the issue tracker, there is no 
scarcity of feedback :)

Unfortunately GitHub does not have an option for that.
