[QGIS-Developer] Security Scan Issue: Why Can't I no longer do this?

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

I see you use de logging module in some of your code. You could at least add a logging statement stating "deliberatly 'pass'ing an exception" or so?

(Honestly, having this helped me find an issue some time ago in a plugin...)

I don't care about code style, I'll just assume it's awful, vibe-coded (based on recent plugin submissions I've looked at), or both.
