Yes, this mass bug filing is of bad quality and should not have happened as such.

I would like to ask maintainers not to do this. I've quickly checked just a number of these bugs and, between the false positives, already found a handfull of genuine, true positive issues. Checking where the bug comes from usually doesn't take a lot of time, so while I share the annoyance, you are already annoyed, so better turn it into something useful by double-checking the code rather than downgrading them out of hand. cheers, Thijs
