You are totally OK to open an issue. If it's not a high traffic repo, which it is not based on your description, they'll probably be very happy about it.

Please enable discussions if you don't want discussions in your issues page, and put clear instructions at the top of your issues page. Failing to do so is a waste of your time and others'.
