What the heck is Gitter? A public chat service? Sounds like adding yet a new way for people to bug you about things that don't work, but without the controlled discussion of opening a proper Issue. As a developer or maintainer, what value does this bring to a project?
It ties chats to Github repos/issues. I've never had any luck with clicking on one. IRC is much more useful in my opinion. I suppose they could make it work in some fashion, but opening an issue should suffice...
