I’m fine with it tbh. FOSS devs need to squeeze every bit of enjoyment out of working on the project to keep motivated. If they (or mods) can drop a helpful reply and close an issue as ‘skill issue’ and get a little chuckle while they give their time for free answering poorly-written queries or bad bug reports then that’s a reasonable trade to keep them from burning out.

Skill issue can easily be made positive if you provide the information to acquire the skill.
