I don't think that's a waste of time.  It's good to keep track of how
much progress we make in any dimension.

All doc issues are automatically assigned to Fred (maybe this needs to
be revised); I don't think he'll be offended if you take some work of
his chest.

I tend to add people to Misc/ACKS for any code contribution
whatsoever, including one-liners.

No, please keep it up. :-)
