emm - they are silently ignored by the people, not the system - and usually 
someone complains about them - it was just bad luck in your part.

Also I am pretty sure that userrel is the wrong recipient. Userrel is for 
cases when two users are insulting each other. Because of that userrel bugs 
are private. You should have opened the bug with infra or docu - maybe you can 
change the assignment - if not I am sure somebody from userrel will.
