Email address is good but also an issue tracker or better yet IRC or something public would be good.

Agreed, for the specific issue. But it seems like he’s asking ppl to contact him more generally.

It does pose the question, what is the most developer friendly contact method??

GET /contacts

POST /message

Interested to hear ideas.

I guess it depends on what "developer friendly" means. If it means 'easiest method for a developer to contact me' that's email. It's ubiquitous. Everyone has at least one. It's easy.

If it means 'easiest method for only developers to contact me' that would probably be some documented REST API.

Either way, I agree the answer isn't Linkedin.

Email address and / or GitHub. No one's saying he needs to show off what a great programmer he is through his contact methods, just don't use a site that's infamously bad for dark patterns and recruiter spam.
