Yeah, the idea and conversation started there originally. However there 
is not much activity yet and there was no reply. So the question lies 
there for few weeks already. Hopefully there will be some reaction on 
revived post.

I completely understand and share the concern as well.

However, my thinking is... GitHub is mainly for developers, but not only 
for them. And it is just about registration to GitHub to be active and 
be able to comment there, nothing more (even more, you see all the 
issues without registration).
What I love about that is not just having better format for discussions, 
but also getting closer to main development stream. So the people who 
are creative and might help with UX improvement ideas, gets also to the 
reality of implementation and in the end hopefully these two streams 
would meet together - which would be amazing result. Both can learn from 
each other.

Because, the same concern occurs when we try to move Horizon development 
oriented people to discussions on G+ community.
