minus-squareMax_Power@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down4·8 months agoWhy? Because most are working for free and don’t have time for BS. Let’s be serious, the amount of BS or low-effort tickets is high. When an unpaid dev is sacrificing free time improving or fixing GNOME tickets better be well-written. Having said that, closing well-written and well-reasoned tickets “just like that” and willy-nilly is ofc not OK either.
