As @petefoth mentions, this has been requested for some time, but the team feels they aren’t at capacity to manage the access lists, triage the bug reports, etc. in an organized way, so it would just get to be a dump spot that never gets used.
Their suggestion, and what I am contributing as I am able, is to use this forum to identify issues (or new features), do initial “triaging” and troubleshooting, and if it is more clearly understood as a software bug or valid new feature request, then I make the entry at our gitlab issue tracker and link to it here in the relevant forum topic.
A bit of double duty for me, but it seems to give the best chance for the developers to be more effective with their time. Sadly that doesn’t give you the opportunity to subscribe to the issues, add comments there, etc. at this time.
