Where can cases like this be reported to DuckDuckGo?
One of those websites reported having problems for a month or so, then having it sorted out all by itself. The author's article on that:

My sites are technically present, but shown only when I search for the exact domain (bikegremlin.com) or the site name (BikeGremlin).
But none of my articles are shown in SERP when I search queries that otherwise get my articles to top-3 on Google.
I've tried submitting URLs for indexing, to see if that will help, now that at least some problems seem to have been fixed. We'll know in a few days... weeks... months if that's helped. :)
So far, articles in my native are back, at least to a degree. But none of my articles in English, even those that used to rank highly (both on Google and Bing/DuckDuckGo etc).
I've used this situation to check which search engines rely on Bing for their results (primitive, unscientific method, but I think it's accurate): https://io.bikegremlin.com/28530/microsoft-bing-serp-gone-ov...
You're also in a unique position to compete with Google by offering advanced search tools. You have the data! Yet I can only search images by "past day", "past week", "past month". Off to Google I go again.
In the same vein, what are you doing to combat SEO spam? Again, you're in the unique position to do something for the public good and your profits here. Your search engine also suffers from the many low quality results of "buy buy buy" (the thing I want information on, not buy, god damn it) and github/SO rehashing sites, ad-laden blog spam and the like.
But imagine if it didn't! Imagine the web being searchable again!
Currently I somewhat follow projects like search.marginalia.nu and mwmbwl (or something), but those don't even have 0.1% of your funding.
I just want to be able to find content made by humans again ...
