Currently we try to use GH labels for that, instead of needing to continually update issue text. So, i think opening new issues (feel free to CC me and @ryanbr ) would be ideal, and we can label them accordingly.
It would also be fine to report those issues as comments on https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/8787
