Rationale
GitHub Issues is a project planning and issue tracking tool for developers, which is part of the broader GitHub platform. It focuses on managing software development tasks, bugs, and project workflows. This is fundamentally different from an online publishing platform like Medium, which is designed for writers to create and monetize long-form content for a general reading audience. None of the 'must-have' features for Medium (rich text editor for long-form articles, distribution/recommendation engine for content, membership monetization for writers, reader engagement metrics for content performance, or community feedback tools for stories) are present in GitHub Issues, as its purpose and target audience are entirely different.
