Does that mean if I take no further action, it is the same as if I
never sent the report?

If so, does that mean that users shouldn't send minor reports like
that if they don't intend to "fix it themselves"?

For instance, I know a 76 year old user.  Shall he not help the free
software effort unless he plans to go all the way and 'fix it
himself', instead of just passing on the alert?

Can't my suggestions just go into a TO DO list, as they are not of
burning urgency?  That would be better than just dropping them if I
don't plan to 'fix it myself.'
