I use GitHub Issues for this. It works so well - any time I make a decision I drop a comment on the relevant issue (often formatted as "Decision: ..."). Now they are archived, searchable, accessible via API and easy to navigate to from my source code because my commits all reference the issue number that relates to the change.

Til Github deletes your account randomly! Happened to a friend of mine recently, and he didn't get any explanation or recourse.

Of course, you have a relatively high profile, so could probably avoid it/get it reversed.

What do you use for archiving github issues?

I've tried a couple of things. I wrote a tool for exporting them to SQLite: https://github.com/dogsheep/github-to-sqlite

I've also tried a mechanism where I have GitHub Actions write them out as JSON files in the repo itself, then I can git clone them in one go: https://gist.github.com/simonw/0f906759afd17af7ba39a0979027a... and https://github.com/simonw/fetch-github-issues
