I wouldn't mind the same function being added to telegramming, as well as larger window, as it happens, as I sometimes do a bit of a pre-edit for someone else's issues (who's welcome to announce themselves if they wish, but wouldn't want to force it out).

Which would be better (for all issues in general), in your opinion?

Writing issues also generally requires skills and knowledge that not all players possess - added to that, whereas in the World Assembly, one can at least see the results of a proposal, issues disappear off into the submissions pool, where they're only accessible to mods unless they eventually get added to the game - which happens to very few of them.
