Looks like it's [1].

Well, I'm going to share your pain on this but honestly, from personal experience with F/OSS, I can say that a conventional bug tracker is not going to help much in cases like yours: if this problem has been filed as an issue the only things it would gain is some ID attached and a web page available. I mean, it would not somehow move it closer to getting fixed - simply due to the apparent lack of interest among those familiar with the code. Hence at best it would just sit there, and at worst - closed by some bot due to lack of activity.
By the way, if you're interested you could search the ML archives for past discussions of this topic. For an example, see [2].
