According to https://www.tug.org/texlive/bugs.html, bugs are sent to
public mailing list tex-live at tug.org with a link to
https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-live. However, I would suggest you
report it again to gmane.comp.tex.live, where I first saw your post, or
to tex-live at tug.org (the same thing).

Before you do so, I suggest you check everything again. For example, if
you're using xdvi, I know there are issues with the display of graphics
to do with a bug in a version of ghostscript (I can't remember which one).

As to texlive2019, I got mine over the Internet using install-tl-unx.tar.gz
from https://tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html. The download is
painless.

Best wishes,
