The bug report was only changed from private to public after Kovid could not see how 3 bugs (out of 5) were a problem and told the submitter to essentially
come up with their own solution and implement it for Linux rather than Calibre and then marking the ticket fixed.
It was only then, unfortunately for Kovid, that the bug report went
viral (such as
here and
here) as an example of how not to handle bug reports.
