In Unity there is a link in the Input Source selector pull-down menu in the AppIndicator area to the Input Source settings (the "Text Entry Settings..." button):

I think this is very useful as you can get to the settings regarding the Input Sources very easily, in GNOME there is no such link:

But I think that there should be (it should link to the "Region & Language" section in the gnome-control-center).

I initially filed this report here but thought I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1569314

Comment 2 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:38:52 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
