They tend to lock issues frequently.

Presumably it is to prevent people discussing problems at length. I don't know any other reason they would do that.

It seems to go against how most other organizations use GitHub.

... or about needing a Microsoft (GitHub) account to publish Rust packages (on crates.io).

I was surprised to hear this so I went searching. Yep. Wow. [1]

I use GitHub all the time but I never expected it to be mandatory if you wanted to publish a package for a popular open source language.

But as the top says, “If you are interested in helping with this work, please feel free to get started!” (Though only if you’re a contributor or open a duplicate issue)
