I am against using GitHub Projects for projects that lack Squid Project 
consensus. Just like Feature pages, GitHub Projects currently create a 
false impression that the Squid Project has agreed that some activity is 
a good idea, that some details of that activity have been reviewed and 
approved by the Squid Project, and/or that some GitHub PRs match that 
good idea.

I wish you have not started using GitHub Projects before discussing that 
shared Squid Project resource use. Please pause that experiment.

Enabling GitHub Issues and then rejecting "regular" bug reports 
submitted via GitHub Issues is bad UX. IMO, we should either enable 
GitHub Issues for regular bug reports and other issues that folks expect 
to file via GitHub Issues (and deprecate Bugzilla) or not enable them at 
all.
