</p> attempted to close an element that was not open

[NazCodeland]

Hello, I am using the svelte Giscus component in my project. I am also using the MDsveX package in my project and I thought originally my issue was related to that package so I opened a ticket there: pngwn/MDsveX#505.

I've come to learn the issue is due to the HTML custom element <gitcus-widget>, not closing itself with an explicit closing tag. It's using the 'shorthand' form, <giscus-widget ... /> to close itself instead of the longhand form, <giscus-widget ... ></giscus-widget>

// Giscus.svelte
<script>
 ...
 ...
</script>

{#if mounted}
 <giscus-widget
   {id}
   {host}
   {repo}
   repoid={repoId}
   {category}
   categoryid={categoryId}
   {mapping}
   {term}
   {strict}
   reactionsenabled={reactionsEnabled}
   emitmetadata={emitMetadata}
   inputposition={inputPosition}
   {theme}
   {lang}
   {loading}
 />
{/if}

I would like to do a pull request and fix this minor issue. I've read CONTRIBUTING.md and I am wondering, since, I am only changing the custom HTML elements to explicitly close, if I also need to follow the instructions in SELF-HOSTING.md, or can I contribute without doing the self-hosting? Thanks in advance.

Should be fixed in v2.3.0, please update and confirm. Thanks!
