I used to notify the owners of attacking IP addresses. Out of several 
hundred responses sent I got three our for thank yous, a lot of non
responses, a few who were angry, and several automated requests from
ISPs asking for all the relevant log entries and nothing after that.

It would probably be the neighborly thing to do, but it will be
mostly unappreciated and will not noticeably increase your systems'
own reliability.
