How is this not trivially solved via a "ready-to-be-worked-on" tag?

For one, it might require several rounds of back and forth before its ready to receive the tag, but now the details are spread across several comments instead of neatly at the top

GitHub desperately needs a feature to pin comments in issues or sort by reactions.

Very often in those infamous bugs that has been open for years, having hundreds of ”me too” comments, there are gems with workarounds or reproductions, unfortunately hidden somewhere under 4 iterations of ”click to load 8 more comments”, making it difficult to find. This generates even more ”anyone know how to solve this” spam, further contributing to the difficulty to find the good post.
