If you can't provide the information, post a comment saying that you're
sorry, you can't provide it, and clear the flag.

The point of the daily reminders is to annoy you into actually replying
when someone else is waiting on you. If you find them so terribly
annoying yet don't want to do this basic step (which, full disclosure:
is me half the time, my record for leaving a bug in needinfo is about
three and a half years :>), it takes about fifteen seconds (depending
on your mail system) to make a filter that just trashes it every day.
