FYI, Oswald was a subscriber of mutt-dev for a long time, so he doesn't quite qualify as a user. He isn't involved much anymore, except to periodically show up on the ticket system and voice his disapproval sharply.
Note I'm not saying he's entirely wrong. Just... a little sharp with his words, as usual.
I don't understand exactly what proper/improper means in this context, but I'd like to ① have some agreement on mutt-dev about how to handle gitlab issues and ② avoid year-long silence. Silently ignoring people makes me unhappy.
I think for feature requests, maybe we just tag them as such and let them be. I think people who submit feature requests generally understand it's going on a long list.
Bug reports should be triaged better than I have been doing. If we agree it's a bug, than at least tag it as such, perhaps with an important level. Or if we disagree that it's not a "bug", then closed.
