@creak@mstdn.ca @TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems Someone already made that suggestion on the Mint Issue tracker and it does not address the core issue: Mint users open tickets on the GNOME Calendar issue tracker because Mint is entirely disinterested in forking or rebranding, thus users keep being sent there to open issues that don't even exist anymore. It takes time away from GNOME devs for a problem that is entirely caused by Mint. It shouldn't be an issue for GNOME devs to solve or even address on their end.
The core issue remains Mint's blatant unwillingness to fix an issue they brought on and they already went ahead and tell GNOME Calendar devs to deal with it and be total assholes about it.
An issue template will not stop people from opening issues for ancient software full of bugs that have long been fixed. Time spent on telling people it's Mint's fault, is time not spent on making the actual app better and it burns devs out.
Again: This is an issue of Mint that GNOME devs shouldn't have to deal with to begin with.
All it would take is for Mint to replace a link.
That's it.

@SebinNyshkim@meow.social @TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems I completely understood the core issue. That's why I said "I assume the Mint maintainers won't change". At some point you need to be pragmatic too. You can still ask Mint to change their behavior, while helping yourself at the same time, you don't have to suffer until they think it's relevant. At least with a template and some information, triaging the issues will be easier.
