Description

Image

I get it, you want help and most issues can be fixed easily with a small PR, but this feels wrong and if someone wants to create a small issue to report a small problem without expecting it to be solved anytime soon because he understand that there are many genuinely critical problems to worry about by the maintainers, the way it's worded is as if you were doing something wrong for reporting it.

Maybe consider adding an option to report "non-critical" issues to at least give us the option while also warning us that they will take way longer to be fixed than the critical ones and to consider contributing?
