[How should I report that] Noto Emoji should be a mandatory dependency of Plasma Emojier (or Plasma Desktop), but isn't?

@ngraham, at bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509925#c8, states that:

[Noto is] a mandatory dependency of Plasma. Anyplace it’s not available should be considered a packaging bug.

Best to report to Forgejo, or RedHat Bugzilla? (I hope the former.)

Evidence

  1. sudo dnf remove $(which plasma-emojier)

  2. Failed to resolve the transaction:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: plasma-desktop

We mark it as a runtime dependency since we’re nice and people complained when we abused the build-time dependencies for this kind of thing to ensure they didn’t get missed. But ideally all runtime dependencies should be considered mandatory.

I’ve reported bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2489292. Apologies for the delay, for something so trivial.
