Speaking for another large open GitHub project:

Absofuckinglutely yes.

I cannot overstate how bad this workflow is. There seems to be a development now in other platforms becoming more popular (gitlab, forgejo/codeberg, etc.) and I hope to god that it either forces GitHub to improve this pile of expletive or makes these "alternate" platforms not be so alternate anymore so we can move off.

None of the alternative forges have a better issue tracker implementation. For the most part, they are basically copies of GitHub. No hope there. :(
