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.

(gitea) no mechanism to securely report security-sensitive bugs (sopuli.xyz)

On an arbitrary gitea instance I opened the form to report a new bug. There was no way to tag the bug as a security bug, which should hide the bug from public view until project maintainers decide to release it.

And ironically, gitea has a dog food problem. That’s right, they use MS Github themselves. Hence why this is reported here. Codeberg has (or had at one point) a repo where gitea bugs could be reported, but Codeberg deleted my account and now there are some hurdles for new registrations that caused me issues. So here we are. IIRC gitea also has a demo instance where bugs can be reported. If I get around to it I might track that down and report this bug there.
