Having thought about this for a month now, and seen both in action, I have an answer.

**Any ‘bug’ requiring any kind of discussion whatsoever belongs on meta.discourse first.**

If the bug is …

1. totally straightforward
2. purely technical and not sociological in nature
3. no reasonable person would dispute its status as a bug
4. unlikely to need _any_ discussion, other than “there it is” and “here is how to fix it”

… then it can go [on GitHub Issues](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/issues).

Note that this is a very narrow and strict definition, so unless your bug strongly meets all 4 above criteria, please keep it here on meta for discussion.
