Maybe related: - quality of bug reports & comments → how well teams keep up with bugs → responsiveness in bugs to mentoring requests ?

Definitely related. Low barrier to entry on GitHub makes upgrading to mentoring easier.

Github workflows tend to promote making the first comment a summary.

First comment of what? I want to get rid of the stream-of-comments entirely, and just have a description that evolves over time.

Sounds good. I'm saying GitHub people tend to encode this in the stream.

I don't understand. Where do I look to find the single description that I can read, that allows me to ignore all of the other comments?

Often the first comment is coopted to be used in the way you want.

First comment on the bug or the bug itself.

So people edit that first comment (which IIRC requires being a maintainer, and has no view of history) rather than adding new ones?
