From my experience lurking in that repo, I found the development of Qbittorrent chaotic, and it has been like that for years.
They have no moderation in issues (hence 2.6k+ open issues);
Commiting frequency is (relatively) low for such a complex program;
And it also has lots of odd UX issues that has been solved on uTorrent at least 10 years ago. My pet peeve is that if you have "add .!qd to unfinished torrent files" option enabled, it somehow would prevent you to manually put completed files in and ask QB to re-check, a practice I often do to help seeding with files I already have (if you do so, it either totally ignore it when checking, or delete your completed file!)
I can't really tell why (lack of contributors, or just bad management), so I won't point fingers.
On the other hand, despite all the quirks and issues, the main functions work solid; and they seem to add/improve core features steadily. So I really have nothing to complain as a user. I just avoid updating to newest version in general.
