Their claim that nothing tells you the email corresponds to the new issue is wrong, the "(Issue #1)" in the title means exactly that. I have actually received the same email myself and immediately recognized it as a new issue created on the repo. This user is obviously not used to GitHub issues as is made clear by the fact that this is the first issue on this repo. I guess GitHub needs to do a better job teaching new users.



True, but I have worked at companies who employ users that maybe aren't entirely up to speed on the technical details and they have GitHub account's for submitting bug reports. This would very easily fool some of these people.

Technical people might spot this, but that also isn't a free pass for GitHub to not do better here.
