Contributing to GNOME is a great way to make Tails better. To understand why we at Tails want to work closely with our upstreams, see our relationship with upstream statement.
GNOME is in the process of migrating from Bugzilla to GitLab. So until this migration is completed, some of the issues that affect Tails live in their Bugzilla while some others are already on their GitLab.
Bugzilla
See the open bugs that affect Tails in the GNOME bug tracker.
