I assume some people will say this isn't even worth the effort; it's not like it's hard to just ignore those reports. But it doesn't take much effort to just try to talk ot them, and it perhaps helps to give tor a reputation of cooperation and helpfulness.
I don't ignore abuse reports, and I've found that Tor's boilerplate abuse templates almost always provide a good response. So it's just a matter of copying and pasting the relevant section and sending it to them.

To be honest I could automate the responses with a few scripts, but that would require setting up my own MTA and that's more hassle than is worth it. My exit nodes have a reduced exit policy, and with that I only get about one or two abuse reports a month, which is manageable manually. I'd imagine the ones who operate exit nodes with no restrictions probably get a fair few more notices.
