Not really.

What we do is to take advantage of the fact that issues people do care about are important ones, and others that nobody cares about are not worth pursuing.

In a sense, "people forgetting" is a lot more important than "people remembering" to filter unimportant issues (issues that are so unimportant that even the original complainer does not bother to come back and re-raise it).
