I don't know actually...
Calculator is built into the Windows OS - a for-profit operating system developed by a for-profit corporation, and people expect it to work and be accurate. If there's bugs, it means it's impacting people and their calculations, and there aren't exactly any other easily accessible built-in alternatives.
It's one thing to be FOSS, but open sourcing Calc.exe doesn't really make it a real FOSS project. It's more of a novelty for Microsoft it seems.
I would expect PR's and Issues to alert a staff engineer at Microsoft who oversees public contributions. It's not like Calc is a huge project with thousands of contributors each year. Otherwise... it feels like just tossing the issue over the fence.
