Comment:

 I don't agree that plugin authors should be restricted from providing
 their own support tools/platforms. If WordPress provided the best tooling
 then why are plugin authors, and even Core development, happening on
 GitHub?

 I can provide a better, more up-to-date, and timely support of my free
 plugin using something like GitHub issues than the .org support forum. I
 see the current forums as limiting and inflexible. I shouldn't be
 restricted from providing better support to my users.

 I will also say that if my plugin is free I am giving my time for the
 community and should be allowed to make the best use of my time. Which is
 also why I don't restrict myself to using the .org SVN repository for all
 of my development. I want to use the best tool for the job today serves my
 users.
