You are assuming such drive-by issues are actually valuable; to me it is not 100% self-evident, especially when most projects do not have shortage of issues anyways.
Some are, some are not. Assuming all are valuable would indeed be incorrect, but so would assuming all are worthless.
In this case it's a "hey I want to make a patch, would you accept it?" type of question, and not really a bug report or feature request as such. I'd say that's valuable.
