I'm not surprised. They currently refuse to have a sane policy around licensing people who just want to put in issues and view repos vs actual developers. They make all users count as a full developer, which makes no sense. Their reasoning is basically "its just easier for us" which is not the point. [0][1]

That's an entirely separate issue, so this seems like an ad-hominem. And possibly a bit off-topic for a thread about their system integration.

But that said, I do wholeheartedly agree! The top-tier account type allows free reporter-level users. But for every other tier (e.g. silver), you have to pay for them. I think that's big mistake, as the cost-benefit of paying 200 USD per year for each member leads to work-arounds, which compromises the user experience.
