Are notes more-likely to be resolved when a dialogue is possible
(non-anonymous)?  If the data suggests, for example, that anonymous
notes typically take 3 months to resolve, and non-anonymous notes take
36 hours, perhaps that would be sufficient motivation for a note
author to leave contact information.

The breaking point might not be non- vs. anonymous, but might be
non-anonymous and with a responsive author vs. other notes.  And it
might be difficult to determine when a note is closed with no action
vs. when a note is closed because it lead to a positive change to the
database.  Are people mentioning notes in their changesets?

So I guess my question is, what ages are notes when they are closed?  :-)
