Bug ? : No indentation for the text in inline tasks

Greetings,

Step to reproduce:
1- Enable (org-indent-mode) in an org buffer.
2- Use the command (org-inlinetask-insert-task)
3- Insert some text between the task's title and the keyword END
4- Notice that the text between the title and the keyword END isn't
properly indented.

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I noticed that we have the right
indentation when using the code from org-inlinetask.el of this old
repository:
https://github.com/ngz/org-mode-lists/blob/master/lisp/org-inlinetask.el

Thanks for your work, org-mode is an amazing piece of software.

Could you elaborate what you mean by "isn't properly indented"?
It is supposed to be indented just like any other text in the containing
headline.

Best,

Indentation of text inside inlinetasks is intentionally the same with
the parent task. Inlinetasks are not considered headings. Rather a
special kind of paragraph.

For many years, Org is deliberately indenting text inside inlinetasks as
in the screenshot:

I say deliberate because there is a commit introducing exactly this
behaviour:

org-indent: Fix indentation in inline tasks

* lisp/org-indent.el (org-indent-add-properties): Indent inline tasks'
  contents according to current outline level, not inlinetask's.  This
  is consistent with hard indentation, using `org-indent-line'.

If others think that this default should be changed, they are free to
jump into the discussion.
