21 years later and it’s just exactly the same thing over and over and over again. And look! it’s even the same project Jamie was complaining about!

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/zenity/-/issues/22

To be fair, this one lies squarely on me: Jamie warned me that this is how the gnome project operates literally 17 years before I filed my bug report. I have read and spread his CADT post many many times over those years. Basically it was silly of me to file a bug thinking that things might go any other way.

I’ll just add gnome projects to the list of projects that I don’t bother filing bugs for, and that I try to avoid wherever possible.
