Bug reporting in most FOSS projects is a joke. 99% of the time they refuse to accept that the bug exists. The remaining 1% is them redirecting you to another bug report that isn't really the same thing, or is sort of related but the dev closed the bug report. To me this is the core of why FOSS is a joke unless it's being made by a big company.

Why the fuck did you spend your time doing that if you didn't want people to use it.
