You need to submit Bugs related to LibreOffice to the associated
website, and not to freedesktop.org. Please refer to the following
links, for more information, and to submit your Bug.

freedesktop.org and LibreOffice.org are both in the Open Source Domain.
But they are not directly related. freedesktop.org relates to different
desktop environments like GNOME and KDE. LibreOffice relates to
community driven and developed office suite software, and was forked out
of OpenOffice.org.

To quote their respective websites,

"freedesktop.org is open source / open discussion software projects
working on interoperability and shared technology for X Window System
desktops" "freedesktop.org was formed in March 2000 to encourage
cooperation among open source desktops for the X Window System"

"LibreOffice is community-driven and developed software which is a
project of the not-for-profit organization, The Document Foundation."
