I dont know what ones he's talking about, but I have this one:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=175284
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533178

Android Studio is released as a compiled binary for windows/mac/linux
but there is no source code for it. And to make matters even worse they
don't have proper tags in the git repos for it so I can't even just make
the tarballs myself because I dont know which commits correspond to the
releases. They just closed the bug as declined with no reason given :(.
