The newly introduced Issues Dashboard provides a consolidated view of all issues across various projects, similar to the existing Pull Request Dashboard. This feature allows users to filter and manage issues by repository, assignment, creation, and those being watched, offering a more organized approach to issue tracking. The dashboard aims to streamline issue management by ensuring that open issues are easily accessible and can be promptly addressed, thus improving project efficiency. Authored by Brian Lopez, this tool encourages users to maintain better oversight and resolution of issues within their repositories.
