 ### Description of the feature
 
 <!-- Please describe your feature with details. Also:
-- If the feature is UI-related, please DO NOT REPORT HERE but on
-  gimp-ux: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/GIMP/Design/gimp-ux/-/issues;
+
+- If the feature is UI-related, please DO NOT REPORT HERE. First,
+  you should discuss with the community and developers in the forums or
+  talk with the developers on IRC: https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html. Then,
+  if it really seems to align with GIMP, report it on gimp-ux:
+  https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/GIMP/Design/gimp-ux/-/issues;
+
 - If the feature is about some image file format on GIMP, first check if it
   is not already listed on https://developer.gimp.org/core/coding/standards/images,
   then you can make the request, ideally linking relevant resources (e.g. specs);
+
 - If you have a patch, see: https://developer.gimp.org/core/submit-patch/ -->
