The complaint is legit. But making a page about your pet issue to create emotional response and cause rants about gnome on social media? That's annoying.

Here's a better structure for the post "This is an issue that really impacts me and I care a lot about. See existing bug / discussion links. I can't solve it myself, but it's important enough that I'm willing to put up bounty for that work." I don't think anyone would complain about it.
