I was not aware of that discussion and similar bug reports in other packages.
Thanks for the links.

Yes, probably it will be better to close bug report with short description of
the reason.

No problem here. Just add what you think is necessary.
Also it is only a suggestion. I may upload your package even in current state,
if you are strongly against of Keywords field.
