Bug reports on any software

When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Delegating issue tracker interaction (github.com)

I think a great use case for this Community would be to ask other people to interact with projects on Github/Gitlab on their behalf, and report back the link to new issues or issue comments to the Community.

The URL attached to this post is an example of that, where Pilou created an issue in the Gitea tracker on behalf of Loïc who does not have a Github account for ethical reasons.

(Gitea is still on Github, but they intend to dogfood their own code forge any time soon. The issue Pilou created deals with adding ForgeFed-based federation support to Gitea. See this issue for details. FedeProxy community is trying to speed this up, by arranging funding).
