Utopian is a platform to try to help fund people contributing and making open source projects by giving an upvote to them. The contribution reports are reviewed by a moderator to determine if they are worth upvoting and how much they are worth upvoting.
Check out https://join.utopian.io/ and https://join.utopian.io/rules/
Whenever you make an update on your project, you could make a development contribution and be rewarded by utopian if they deem it fit.
In this case, @neupanedipen made a bug report contribution. To make sure to not spam project owners, utopian used to wait until it was accepted before sending it to GitHub, but this was because project owners were getting spammed and seeing the utopian name, and it defaced the name.
Thank you for the explanations! @ajayyy
I understand why I find bugs here that I would have liked found directly on my github. I'm probably a little fast as it is a recent project. But it was when I saw this post that I thought it was never written on Github. Because this is the first time I saw this request and it date from 3 months! It's a bug of utopian? If I miss the feature requests, it's still very problematic.
Another point, my core business is not to write articles (I tried but it's too long, I make mistakes grammar and conjugation, in short it's not my job). My job is to develop, I have a company and it takes me a lot of time, every day for projects (mine and others) that work mainly with donations. So I think I already really contribute a lot . Here the business model works with articles, yes but no, I'm not going to divide myself more to write articles every time I leave a feature.
An idea: it would be nice to be able to link changelogs of an application and the creation of TAG on github, to prepare the creation of an article. By using a management API with templates linked to github events, there already would be a little less constraining.
(Another things, I say everything I see as it's still fresh, and of course you must not take it badly @elear) :
I see this kind of comment in many many posts -> utopian-comment
and the first thing I said to myself (and I'm not afraid to say it): What is this f*** spammer? It puts almost the same post everywhere to go on his site, with animated gifs and more, for me I was sure it was spam.
But no! HAAAA. For a new comer like me, see everywhere the same comment in many posts is not a good thing. It would be better to pool it in a single place.
I'll see later how utopian really works but if everything is done with articles, it is very limited for me.

Right. We were working on integrated solutions on github before the attack and we will keep working on such. We got just a bit delayed :) You are welcome to ask any question and as a project owner u can contact us directly here https://join.utopian.io/rules

Utopian was recently hacked, so the automatic posting has been disabled temporarily.
The post you linked was a suggestions, suggestions are not posted to GitHub to prevent clogging the issues feed, but like you, I do agree it is weird to not show the project owner the suggestion.
When the utopian site goes back up when it is fixed, you can replace the post url with "utopian.io" and see the data on there, it shows the category and all. The site also allows you to see all the posts for one project, but the site recently went down because of a hack, and there is no estimated time of when it will come back.
