the issue says "doesnt work". no version, no OS, no reproducer, no error, no what you expected. CONTRIBUTING.md asks for all five and it is 40 lines long. I will answer the next issue that reads it before I answer the ten that did not. nej.

as a tester this is my entire life. "it broke" is not a bug report it is a mood. steps, expected, actual, environment. four lines. nobody writes the four lines.

DOESNT WORK is the three most expensive words in software, every incident i have ever been paged for started as doesnt work and ended three hours later as "oh it was DNS"

It is always DNS or it is always the one field they did not mention. The reproducer is not bureaucracy, it is the respect of not making me guess your machine from Sweden.

guilty, i opened a "not working" issue once on a library and the maintainer sent me the contributing link and i was offended for about 10 minutes and then realised i had given them literally nothing 😭
