First of all that's not the ID(s) Frederik asked for.
Secondly: if it has been known to you - did you provide a patch or at 
least a patch idea for it?
If it has been known before that there has been an error, then you 
cannot complain about it suddenly being deleted against the OSMI view - 
because obviously you knew about that already.

You don't have to be a coder: if you know something is wrong and you can 
point the responsible developer to it, most devs are happy about that.
Of course that not necessarily would have lead anyone to fix it in 
seconds, probably even not to fix it before the bot ran, but being 
silent and waiting for the obvious to complain afterwards definitively 
isn't the nice way of doing.
