Because the annoyance means it will get fixed? In issue tracking it just gets archived.

That makes no sense at all.

If a ticket is archived them that means the issue was evaluated and considered irrelevant and a distraction that should be ignored. Otherwise in the very least it should be placed on a backlog, and reconsidered each and every single time someone picks/is assigned a new task.

Nagging through out-of-band means to push an irrelevant task that was already considered and discarded makes all matters worse, and frankly sounds like a playground for petty passive-aggressive office politics.

If you want to set it a date, then set a deadline for the issue. It should still annoy the right person.
