It certainly is, but there is a difference between reporting it upstream
and actually getting them to fix it...

See, for example, this upstream request for a Github tag (which has been
carefully ignored since October):
https://github.com/jakubroztocil/httpie/issues/620

Which would fix these two outstanding bugs:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55786
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55881
