Since these notes are automatically generated there's no on you could
ask for clarifications, which is needed for all issues. And that has
been tried. The quality of these reports has already been discussed on
this list so I don't see any value in these notes. And I don't think I'm
alone with my judgment since most if not all of these notes have been
closed by now by different users.

Just for clarification, only these special, automatically posted notes
are closed.

The alternative to closing in my mind would be to post some disclaimer
text, that points out the poor quality of the tool that creates these
issues so other editors are warned, even if they don't know about this
discussion here.
