That will attract volunteers a great deal ;((.
The least "the project" (and therefor also you as a committer), has an
obligation to give a reasonable response to the effort taken. Clouding
the mailinglist with reminders (what some projects actually specifically
ask for), is actually not something I should invest my time in. 
Just a simple "we don't have time for it now, it is on the todo list..
", would do in many cases. 

So if you don't want to take that effort  : don't take up the
responsibility of being a committer. 

So the obligation to do something with it, is of the project and if you
are part of that you have an obligation.
