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

No, you can always summarize details neatly at the top, you can edit comments, you know?

>>eviks+D
Yes but the person who is qualified to summarize might not be the person who initiated a discussion.

>>NewJaz+Y1
No again, the person qualified can edit the initial comment.

>>eviks+M2
Hmm didn't realize that repo owners could edit other folks' comments

>>8n4vid+(OP)
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.

>>8n4vid+(OP)
Don't worry, I'm willing to bet that there's an AI integration in the works for this...

Still seems like a messier workflow and it might leave behind a dozen comments not related to the progress of the ticket.
