Hi Graeme,
   A lot of these notes are anonymous and therefore reminders will go into
the ether. A significant proportion more are businesses via a third party
app or two, once again, the chances of a response is slim which leaves
travellers who flag places via OSMAND who wont be able to assist and those
planning to update an area. The legendary Pakenhamin, who was a courier,
used OSMAND to flag thousands of notes, all valid change requests whilst he
was travelling and the QA of the map was worth updating the notes so I
don't see a six month reminder assisting in all but a small proportion.

   I would like to see a colour change or starred note for a note < 30 days
old so that you can easily identify new comments. I would also like to see
the notes appear in the ID edit mode by default to prompt people editing
