I wish they would build features to defend against those near-spam type comments where someone is lazy and appends their clearly unrelated issue onto an existing one that maybe shares a few keywords but nothing substantive.

It's not quite spam: there's often a real person behind it with a real issue but they need a (metaphorical) slap before they muddy the waters and disturb countless people already in the conversation.
