[Epic] Opened Microsoft issues tracking

[jeromelaban]

This GitHub issue is a meta issue that tracks opened issues in the Microsoft community system that relate to the developer experience of maintainers and contributors.

If you are building an application with Uno then you typically won't run into these sorts of issues. If you do experience any issues building an application with Uno, we want to know about it. Please open an issue and select either the bug report or the feedback template.

Note for maintainers, this list is maintained by issue priority. VS Preview issues should be added last.
