Current evaluation

Report from 2018 that status.snapcraft.io returns "We have encountered a problem while executing your request" for URLs carrying Google Analytics query params (?_ga=...) linked from the snapcraft.io/build footer; untriaged, unverifiable, and outside the snapcraft repo.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The bug carries zero labels, no assignee, and zero comments after 2868 days, so no maintainer has assessed it — the default action for an unlabelled report. Code inspection confirms the affected component is not in this repository: grep for "status.snapcraft.io" across snapcraft and craft-parts returns no matches, and the layout contains only the Python CLI (snapcraft/, commands, parts, services), docs, and spread tests, so the fix belongs to the snapcraft.io web/status-page operator rather than here. Confidence is capped because the report's exact reproducer URL is from 2018 and the current behaviour of status.snapcraft.io cannot be verified from the repo, so it is unknown whether the underlying WAF/status-provider configuration still rejects ?_ga parameters.
