Topic: What's the etiquette around bug reporting?

Hi! In my free time I'm playing with Roc and finding quite a lot of bugs... which is totally ok given it's still on the cutting edge. Shall I just open issues on GitHub for each of them? I know it's not always welcome and there is quite a lot of them already so I don't want to add to the burden. Of course I'd rather fix some, but I'm not there yet.

Feel free to open as many reports as you like, it's definitely helpful. If you have time and are able to check for duplicates before, that goes a long way towards reducing the noise, but not strictly necessary

Thank you. Here is one: https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/issues/5995

There is more in the making in my little playground. I'll post them as soon as I have time to describe them in an intelligent way.
