If your "unworthy bug" doesn't cause malfunctions, you could easily close it "WONTFIX" and add a comment.
Why do you advocate WONTFIX over FIXED RAWHIDE?
Because it is how s user perceives it.
I don't think engaging in mind reading on behalf of users is a good argument. I fixed it in Rawhide and I believe informing the user is important.
Well this is what I call "cheating the user" and "maintainer lying at themselves about their package's state" and why I consider "FIXED RAWHIDE" to be non-helpful.
The maintainer did not fix the bug a "reporter" filed, but left it unresolved and fixed another bug: Another incarnation of the same bug waiting to hit the users in the next release.
