Bug Reports category
Meta should have a dedicated category for bug reports, to increase the chance that users will pile onto an existing bug report rather than create new ones.

We do technically have a dedicated bug reports channel on Github.
Rather than making a separate category on Meta, it might make more sense to keep all bug reports relating to the software on Github. Eventually others might self-host Codidact instances, and having a central repository of known issues for developers to be aware of would be preferable to having them simply buried as Meta posts somewhere on the canonical Codidact instance.
The downside to using the Github issues tracker is that some Codidact users may not have or want an account on another site. We could work around this by having a "submit an issue" button on Codidact and automatically posting those issues to the tracker, but that would likely be a hassle for the developers to set up (correct me if I'm wrong).
