ask on the mailinglist....

or did your smiley mean, you intentionally did mis-understand?

Again as written before by me: If you actually have meaningful content, 
why a note? And as you wrote above, if you had it, you did fix or 
improve the doc, rather than adding such notes.

Well I agree, not every question will be answered.
But if not, it means no one knows the answer. That also means, there is 
no one who will fix a "[what?]" note. And if no one is to fix it, there 
is no point in putting it there.

As I said. Trying to use them to force people will not work.

Spearing for myself:
- Where I can (have knowledge and time), I will help.
- And where that does not apply, you can be certain that such notes are 
the last think that will make me do anything. If they had really gone 
in, and decision was not to remove them without fix: Well be it.
