Not really a nice comment but a real issue?

[Eric Bresie]

Just scanning the javafx ports/openjfx GitHub repository listed below, there appears to have been over 650 GitHub issues raised (and still growing). Some I see labeled as “bugs” but what about all the others?

It looks that the port project has basically indicated moved to the official https://github.com/openjdk/jfx which no longer allows issues to be raised there like the port version.

But that said what about all those issues on the port repository? Does raising issue on that need to be disable maybe?

Or would allowing issues on the official repository be good in some way?

Is it possible to “mirror” the ticket on GitHub to create an official one in the official Java bug tracking?
