Since bug reports easily get lost on the mailing list, I have a preference
for Git for Windows reports to be opened at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/new. That method also
provides a more helpful bug report template.

I have to admit that I am somewhat surprised by your bug report because I
specifically verify that Git GUI starts whenever releasing a new Git for
Windows version.

Since you reported this for your Windows setup, it would be good to know
what your Windows version is.

Having said that, the most obvious difference between v2.28.0 and
v2.32.0(2) with regards to Git GUI is that Tcl/Tk was upgraded from
v8.6.10 to v8.6.11.

If you could test with v2.30.0 (which still has the old Tcl/Tk) and with
v2.30.1 (which has the new one), that could help pinpoint the issue.

Ciao,
Johannes
