I recently created a new Github Account but probably there is some issue with my account. Whenever I am creating a issue on any repo either by web or cli. It shows that issue is created and actually it is shown as created in my recent activity tab if I am loggined. But If I pull up a incognito tab and Enter issues URL there it shows page not found. What is actual issue (do I need any verification?) And how to solve it?

    A while ago I created an account with a Simple Login email and had a similar problem. In my case I just wanted to check an authentication via GitHub I had set up was working properly and couldn’t do it because they weren’t accepting the aliased email address. I reached out to support, but they basically told me to use a regular email address.

    git send-email the maintainer your patch if they continue to host on a proprietary platfrom that locks out & throttles users.

      But I want to file up a New Issue. Probably that is not possible with git send-email

        You can look at the git log & message the maintainer directly

        This is the main development path for most distros - Debian, Gentoo, etc.

        Issues are tracked on bugzilla and then the patch is sent to the developer mailing list citing the bug ticket with git send-email. Not sure about Debian but in the case of Gentoo they accept contributions via their git mirror and email. The developers keep both in sync so that new contributors (who likely use github) are encouraged but more established users can stick to the mailing list.

          that is why I qualified the statement with “lives in github”, i.e. the entire project relies on github issues, PRs etc. for all communication.

        It has to be out of band… & you have to hope the maintainer a) checks there email & b) doesn’t turn their nose up to someone trying to contribute but getting the shaft in an horrible UX experience provided by their forge (I get heavy bandwidth throttle in my country & other countries are outright banned for US sanctions).
