jrbs triaged this task as Medium priority.Feb 8 2019, 8:19 PM

This one isn't super urgent since we can link to the PDF after we upload it to the Foundation Governance wiki, but is still a flaw.

This came up again for a non-image takedown yesterday. I ultimately just put Google.com as the source since it wouldn't otherwise save without a URL. Just an FYI / update since I don't think AHT has the bandwidth to fix something like that right now, and it remains lowish priority IMO

@jrbs thanks for letting us know. It's an annoying bug. I'll see if we can find some time during a maintenance sprint to tackle this.

jrbs lowered the priority of this task from Medium to Low.

We don't really use this tool anymore, so closing as Declined.
