We mention a whole slew of 'what happens when you report harassment' incidents:

I also want to mention that we were super scared of publishing our individual experiences for this exact fear and questioning of our lived experience.
I could have posted a screenshot but I thought it was nice to have people play with the demo within the browseer, probably will stick to screenshots next time.
But nevertheless, I think it would be better if implementors summarize discussions outside of the bug tracker into the issue itself.
(merely curious, and completely off-topic)
I think this is a bigger problem with large open source projects in general where implementors are oblivious to which functionalities developers cherish and value. Any change in such features would require a more thorough explanation.
A lot of websites still use UA detection scripts from late 90s(!) which STILL do antiquated UA sniffing which means Opera does not get scripts, styles or markup because it does not seem to have the 'Mozilla' in its UA string leading to broken pages.
There is an easy fix if it is an irritant which is to select 'Edit Site Preferences > Network' from the context menu on a page.
Also, we would be much obliged if you could submit a bug report if you come across a site that does not render correctly in Opera: https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/
If you are a web developer, please do consider using feature-detection :)
The reasons for each of the choices we made is all within the comments of the source file, so it is easier to choose what to keep and what to change.
What we hope people do is to read through the source to see why we made the choices for defaults and pick and choose what they like and keep using them.
There are lots of defaults that were eye-opening to me that were suggested by the scores of contributors to the project.
