We don't "umm and ah" about it, we've got a number of vigorous
mechanisms to deal with such problems.

I think a lot of the difficulty lies in the fact that some of the
"problems" that people point out about articles are not, in fact, actual
problems. People claim things are libel which are not, or claim they're
not public figures when they really are, etc. If someone were to submit
a bug report to Linus about how they were unable to use Linux to repair
the flat tire on their bicycle, it's not a problem when Linus fails to
address the issue.
