Oh no I have had to translate open source developer speak for someone again. For the record:
"Please file a bug report" = "I am intrigued by this issue and I might look into it"
"You'll have to file a feature request" = "I will ignore this forever"
"Pull requests welcome" = "Leave me alone"
"You'll have to write an enhancement proposal" = "Kindly fuck off"

Struggling with job hunting? Here is two easy tips:
One, switch to trapping. Putting out a lure & wait for jobs to get trapped. This requires significantly less raw effort & scales significantly better but a higher degree of sophistication. Just remember to check your traps regularly.
Two, hunt as a pack. While managers & HR departments are generally capable of outrunning or even fighting off individual job hunters they generally struggle with coordinated groups of hunters. While you will need to share with the other members of the pack this still guarantees higher individual survival chances.
No one could have possibly seen this coming except for the many people documented in this story who saw this coming.
FWIW if someone did this in mission-critical software in the US, folks would be actually harmed lmfao
GitHub has long been a source for zero days exploits in competitor products - it still is. While I worked there GitHub had a policy saying they wouldn’t remove them.
By continually removing just exploits for their own products from Github and declaring “criminal activity”, it’s a rubicon.
I’m deeply uncomfortable with Microsoft attempting to weaponise their extensive law enforcement contacts to arrest people who post zero days in the products.
It comes after the researcher was kicked off GitHub (owned by Microsoft), Gitlab (a Microsoft partner), after they were doxxed on Twitter and had their MSRC - Microsoft vulnerability reporting portal - account disabled.
