We’ll have to agree to disagree about that. The clown-emoji guy is out of line (at least, I wouldn’t respond to a user that way,) but the reporter: * opens up his bug report passive-aggressively complaining about not getting a response to his emailed report, which he sent to a completely unrelated domain * immediately fished for a bug bounty payout * submitted his report against a 2.5 year old release, wasting maintainer time and then pushes back that because it came with his preferred distribution[0] that made it the Evolution maintainer’s problem. * when the maintainers pointed out this was a dependency problem, accuses them of “buck passing” and demands they warn users of specific distributions about the problem he reported, which is, of course, completely impractical for them to do. * does not engage at all with the Webkit developer who is trying to explain what the problem is and why fixing in Webkit is the right thing. * demands one of a selected list of fixes from the maintainers. Note: if his suggested fixes are so simple, a PR at this point implementing one of them would have probably been more productive than what he did post: I understand that this is completely out of your power to do anything about, and that it is also completely out of your power to put a notice in the UI about the functionality not working for privacy purposes. Please add clown and face-palm emojis to this comment as per my other comments, to indicate you have read it. He didn’t do himself any favors and, IMO, doesn’t have much of a leg to stand on to complain about the tone of the response he got. He got back what he put out. 0 - a distribution, by the way, that is notorious for distributing hacked up out of date software. See: the OpenSSH key saga as well as projects like XScreensaver that have Debian-specific FAQ entries telling their users how to get reasonably up to date software (https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#upgrade https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#upgrade)
