I am unable to add an issue or question at [GitHub - SciML/LinearSolve.jl: LinearSolve.jl: High-Performance Unified Interface for Linear Solvers in Julia. Easily switch between factorization and Krylov methods, add preconditioners, and all in one interface. · GitHub](https://github.com/SciML/LinearSolve.jl) to describe a bug I found related to return values in the function `needs_square_A`. I have an MFE and a workaround but am unable to add an issue or communicate via “new issue → question”.

Please advise if I missing something about auth to contribute? Thanks very much for your time.

John

No, no special authorization required. Just a Github account. Github might be buggy today though.

I did finally create the issue after several tries. I appreciate the reply, thanks!
