It was initially part of the report and then assigned to the client. You cannot just ignore that. Now, extract all the issues that are not fixed by this patch and re-report them in a separate JBS.

it is not part of the public API. It is part of implementation similar to peers which should not be mentioned in the spec. And all of that are part of the client, why did you ignore that?
