What it does This was Microsoft’s designated public inbox for gripes and feature requests about GitHub Copilot’s UX inside VS Code — both the inline autocomplete and the chat panel. Think of it as a suggestion box with a GitHub login.

The interesting bit The repo’s entire purpose has been retired in favor of open-sourcing the actual Copilot Chat extension code elsewhere and routing all feedback through the main VS Code issue tracker. The issues here are now read-only, slowly migrating like digital artifacts to a new museum wing.

Key highlights

  • 1,021 stars accrued while it was active
  • Feedback now directed to vscode-copilot-chat for contributions and microsoft/vscode/issues for bug reports
  • Previously covered both Copilot autocomplete and Copilot Chat extensions
  • All remaining issues are frozen and being transitioned

Verdict Worth a bookmark only if you’re tracing the bureaucratic evolution of Microsoft’s AI tooling. Active users should head directly to the VS Code repo instead; historians of corporate open-source strategy may find the deprecation notice mildly instructive.
