@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems so I got linked to this before ... from what I can tell in the issue, as an outsider, it looks like neither side wanted a productive conversation, and it just felt rude on both sides. The issue body itself also initially didn't look completely clear what the actual problem is, it just asked for rebranding everything without any specific reason.
This article itself is just inflammatory, again pointing fingers at LM which is not helpful.
Note linuxmint is not innocent either, they definitely messed up by packaging gnome-calendar in this state, but I feel if the discussion started by clearly stating the problem (people reporting long solved bugs in the wrong place, which is hurting upstream) and not pointing fingers all the time the outcome probably would've changed significantly.
But instead there was a lot of miscommunication, both from your side and their side, miscommunication that could have definitely been avoided, which is sad to see.

@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems There's this blog post also which I think quite resonates with how I think about this whole situation: https://pointieststick.com/2026/07/19/whos-responsible-for-bug-reports-on-old-software-versions/
