I sent in a patch (#18556) for the 6 most annoying of these, which are 
triggered on every call, but I do not think there is any sense for me or 
any outsider to submit a patch trying to fix all 200--the patch will 
certainly be obsolete if/when it might be applied, given the usual 
turn-around time of months/years. It could only be done with someone 
having almost direct commit right. I'm sure it will be appreciated by 
the community if it could be fixed by the Asterisk team, however, if 
there would be a time slot found in someone's schedule for it!
