Maybe I've just been around free software projects for too long, and it all seems obvious and easy because of that. Most projects have a public issue tracker, whether it be github, gitlab, bugzilla or similar. This is usually easy to find either directly via a web search, or by checking the project's web site or wiki for a page on how to contribute. That 'contribute' page will usually have a list of ways they can be contacted like which matrix channels or fora they use too. The first place to report an issue is usually the distro in case it's their packaging or configuration that's responsible. They may suggest reporting the issue upstream, or report it themselves. In this case it may go from mobian through phosh to gnome. A quick search for mobian issue tracker leads me to https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues where you could create a new one.
Most of the people involved in development of the software you use on the PinePhone wouldn't consider themselves part of 'the pinephone community.' They happen to develop code that we use on the PinePhone, but most gnome developers have probably never seen a pinephone, let alone have one. Even projects that you might think of as pinephone-centric, like mobian, support a range of other devices. I'm not going to grumble if they don't want to spend their free time reading fora other than the ones they say the follow.
