It’s a private bitbucket repo. It’s not likely to get opened and/or moved to Github.
So your requirement for being able to file issues to the repo will not be met, if that’s what you mean. Doesn’t mean feedback isn’t welcome of course, but it’s part of a commercially developed offering.

Use another format for the time string. : are not allowed in Windows.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying here? ":" is a perfectly valid character to have in a string - on any OS.

Ah, I see. No, you can't have a ":" in a file name in Windows because it is reserved for drive names.
