If you're going to talk about someone, it's generally polite to CC them.

In (almost?) all of the PRs I closed I referenced the Wiki page on Clang,
where it is clearly explained how to and how not to help.

I'm not hostile to PRs, I'm just not a fan of filling the PR database with
a unhelpful PRs. I appreciate the effort some people have gone to to
research these problems; it's just unfortunately duplicated effort.
