I agree completely.  I find the whole workflow very distracting.  What I
see now is that patches without comments emerge really fast:

    https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/65


Actually I expected this competitive atmosphere, because that's what
GitHub encourages.

Realistically, my workload tripled for this one particular issue
compared to our previous workflow.
