Maybe the people of HN are just a small minority of users that contribute GitHub Issues on popular public repositories and not very well representative of the whole? Have you maintained a popular repository on GitHub? I can vouch for tons of spam/duplicate Issues.


There might be a ton of duplicate issues. There might also be a ton of duplicate issues not brought up by a FAQ. How would you measure those?
