Even with Github Issues, Gluster will not see a reduction of traffic
to -users/-devel asking questions about the releases. What will happen
for a (short?) while is that the project will have two inbound avenues
to look for questions and respond to them. Over a period of time, if
extreme focus and diligence is adopted, the traffic on mailing list
*might* move over to Github issues. There are obvious advantages to
using Issues. But there are also a small number of must-do things to
manage this approach.
