Is there any special protocol for filing an issue or submitting a PR on a package in stdlib? I recently encountered a problem in `SparseArrays/src/linalg.jl` with, I think, a pretty simple fix. Do I just create an issue for `https://github.com/julialang/julia`?

Yes, creating an issue is fine. There is no special protocol for stdlibs AFAIK. And if you already have a simple fix you might also want to create a simple PR 🙂
PS: I’m a bit confused because you seem to have made a PR for a stdlib (LinearAlgebra) before ([https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/29506](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/29506)). Perhaps I’m misunderstanding something?

Not confusing. I am just old and forgetful.
