Just saying this based on my personal preference. I would rather
prefer that people directly open an issue on Github than emailing me
personally.

Reasons:

- Issues section is there for a reason. If the repo owner did not like
people opening Issues, they would disable that section.
- Conversations and discussions are better formatted and readable in
the issue threads.
- If the feature is implemented, I like to link that commit or PR to
that issue so that the entire history and reasoning behind a feature
addition (esp. if it's a breaking one) can be followed through
hyperlinks from the commit log to the issue thread.
