Description

When using Help -> Send Feedback, I'm redirected here where I'm encouraged to submit an issue. But not all feedback are issues. In this particular instance I wanted to say "thanks and good job for implementing X" (as a developer, I know it is nice to get this kind of feedback!). But that is not really a format for GitHub Issues.

Would it be possible to restore the old way for collecting feedback? When I'm not dipped into a hot end of technical stack and need to browse through a pile of already existing issues - very discouraging.

Or at least rename "Send Feedback" into "Report Issue".

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Help -> Send Feedback flow and inspect where it redirects users. Compare the current behavior with the requested alternatives: restoring the previous feedback collection method or renaming the action to "Report Issue"; done means the path no longer presents all feedback as GitHub issues.
