Exactly! If you scroll to the bottom of each one, you will see that most are either a) still open, or b) abandoned (too hard or impossible), then closed as stale.

Rightly so.

One open issue has a comment at the bottom saying that the issue is fixed and was an issue with Mutter. There's no evidence to think that it was ever a "wayland" issue.

One open issue has had locked comments for 5 years. It's probably fixed but nobody has bothered to close it.

Most of rest were not actually "wayland" issues, either. Yes, someone's hobby project screen recorder might not get updated to work with wayland, but there's dozens of those, feels a bit unfair to ignore that there's alternatives.

obs, jitsi, & raspbian are not “hobby projects”. do you work for redhat?

Can't speak for obs and raspbian, but jitsi definitely is more of a hobby project than a stable reliable product. I have dealt with it firsthand for years and its a complete mess and unstable with poor quality and reliability and zero support. It tries to do one thing, and does it horribly. Users HATED it. Ending up costing our company millions in wasted dev time and hosting fees. Probably the biggest project failure ive personally witnessed. This is not something you want to use to offer some service to users. There are better and cheaper products out there.(it costs more to host crappy jitsi than it does to just pay for zoom licences).
