In reply to Chris Paul.

I COMPLETELY agree, and this isn't even limited to Gutenberg. To expect the average user to sign up for Github (sigh - yet another account!) and learn how to use it & work with its idiosyncrasies is simply unrealistic.

I don't know how many times I stumbled upon a problem, or a bug, or had an idea, and then just let it go because there are too many hoops to jump through just to be heard. The system, with its complexities and requirements, effectively reduces or eliminates user feedback & bug reports.

In order for the community (actual USERS) to be able to provide feedback and help product development and bug fixing, some sort of interface/ombudsman or whatever else would be needed. A person that translates "real world problems" into WordPress bug reports that fit the criteria that are expected on Github...
