How does Radicle handle the following situation?: A non-programmer user wants to submit a bug report. The user has previous experience with submitting bug reports on GitHub and they would not mind creating a new account to submit a bug report on Radicle. Can the user submit an issue on Radicle without running their own node?

At the moment there isn't any mechanism for that kind of drive-by action. The current mechanism for creating an issue requires that a Git reference is created (the COBs structure) for replicating by other nodes.

Perhaps in the future, a user could use a web interface for a Radicle node and they post it directly from their browser. Some questions about that would the verifiability of that action though. Definitely some food for thought here!

Do non programmer submit bug reports on Github...? It must be a vanishingly small minority. I've only seen that at on Mozilla repos with their useless middle managers

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Sometimes they flip out about GitHub and go on Reddit instead and write something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/github/comments/1at9br4/i_am_new_to...

How on earth did that entitled whiney post get 4.6K upvotes, and in /r/github no less?

[codetrotter]

The upvotes are mainly because people found it hilarious and it became a bit of a meme on multiple subreddits like for example on r/ProgrammerHumor

I've had minimally technical users participate in github issue threads, and it can be very valuable when they do.

[delfinom]

Yes? There are plenty of individuals that are technical enough to handle a sign up form and a issue form but not programmers. The bar isn't that high lol.

But then again my username is all non-software engineers :shrug:

To my surprise, I have seen this more often than I would have expected (expectation = zero). It's not super common but not unheard of.
