    I completely agree, but this is not something the Debian OpenVPN maintainers can do. Please check the latest version at the upstream Github repository https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn and file issues there, if the issue is still present.

    I might if the bug tracker were hosted in a more open and neutral
    place. Microsoft venues are places I will not go. Github in particular
    has access problems. Luckily Debian shelters users with a bug
    reporting policy¹ that concurs:

    “Don't file bugs upstream

    If you file a bug in Debian, don't send a copy to the upstream
    software maintainers yourself, as it is possible that the bug
    exists only in Debian. If necessary, the maintainer of the package
    will forward the bug upstream.”

    I wonder if the BTS could use improvement on this. Theoretically a
    maintainer should be able to press a button that rounds up a time
    range of bugs marked upstream and concatenate them into a periodic
    digest for the upstream bug tracker.
