Collins Concise Dictionary 4th ed. states that "make sure" "takes a clause as object", whereas "be sure" "takes a clause as object or an infinitive". The use of "make sure" with an infinitive does not conform with standard English usage. Note that I made a suggestion that eliminates all grammatical uncertainty and is much clearer.

And, if your goal is to improve the quality of the software, I suggest that you shouldn't alienate people who share that goal by arrogantly disparaging their suggestions, however unimportant the bug may seem.
