   "Issues are independent. Properly broken down, work in a project has dependencies"

   A trick I use a lot is to open a "tracking issue" and then link to it from other dependent issues by mentioning its #ID in those issue's descriptions.

   The tracking issue automatically shows the open/close status of those other issues, which means I can see at a glance if all of the dependent issues have been completed.

   Here's an example: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1105

   It's not nearly as sophisticated as what you're looking for in terms of date estimates and critical paths, but it does work well for light-weight dependency tracking.

   Unofficial issue tracker for AnyTone AT-D868UV and AT-D878UV radios and firmware

   

   I am embarrassed to admit that my most popular GitHub repo is an issues-only tracker for something I didn't even create: a popular handheld ham radio, the AnyTone AT-D868UV/AT-D878UV.

   After I bought my radio, I found a few firmware issues and looked for a way to communicate them to the manufacturer. No luck on that. There was an active Facebook group, but it is a weird place run by a radio dealer who would ban you for discussing anything he thought might interfere with his business.

   So I made a repo and started adding issues for the things I'd noticed. People found it and it took on a life of its own. The most popular issue is a lengthy collaboration among several hams who worked out a way to update the firmware on the D868UV to convert it to a D878UV.

   This was one of the topics that would get you banned on that Facebook group, as the group owner would rather sell you a new radio. The funny part about that is the upgrade involves buying a special programming board and considerable time and effort, plus the risk of ruining your radio. So it was really just a labor of love for a few hams who had a blast working out how to do the upgrade.

   Hams may not build our own radios as much as we used to, but we can still hack the firmware!

   Having everything as GitHub issues has several benefits: Everyone knows how to use them, great markdown support including images, ability to react and thumb up issues and comments, deep integration in the actual code - well it's github, and it feels rock solid!
