Dear Github,

Is it possible for you to create a feature and a separate tab to distinguish users/devs posting issues from questions? For e.g. , users are kinda abusing the openness of github repos (myself included) and posting questions such as these:

And these are really distracting devs and contributors from looking through the issues for bugs to fix or features to add. It's not that we (developers/contributors/community) doesn't want to answer these questions (in fact sometimes we go to length to answer them, e.g. nltk/nltk#1539 and even goes to Stackoverflow to answer them).

Currently, the make-do solution is to create an issue label call questions and then filter them, e.g. https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aquestion.

There are already tabs like Wiki and the more recent Projects tabs; in fact I think people seldom use the Wiki tab and would prefer to keep the documentation on a separate HTML site outside of github.

Wouldn't it be easier if Github just creates a Question tab for the repositories?

Regards,
alvas
