If you are interested in research in design in open source projects see the list of publications at
https://github.com/victoria-bondarchuk/List-of-Academic-Research-on-Usability-in-FOSS
and the literature review at https://user-project.superbloom.design/process/literature-review/
Usability issue discussions in open source projects "…were mostly focused on visual design and user interaction mechanisms". A possible explaination: "efficiency issues […] and aesthetic issues […] tend to be system characteristics that can be readily discovered and addressed by developers once a version of the system is implemented, while other usability aspects may require deeper, upfront analysis and UI/UX design."
We just released Krita 5.3 and 6.0!

If you are a developer working with designers in open source projects:
What did you learn about design from them and what would you like designers would know about development?
