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.

High effort tickets are ignored because devs are lazy and can’t be bothered to deal with complex and boring issues. Well, at least that’s how I roll as an open source developer lol.
