Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

Upstream is completely silent about Bug #400120 and Bug #421728. Since Ubuntu cares about Gwibber enough to include it in indicator-applet, I'm filing this report in the hope that the Ubuntu package maintainers might at least express a position about it.
