Pretty much, that's my question.

Do they add anything to taste when dried before grinding? I expect they would add heat with something hotter?

Seeds have no flavor. They do not contain capsaicin either, which is responsible for the heat in chilies, but their proximity to the placental tissue (which contains most of the heat in a chile) means that the seeds' surface can pick up some heat. How much depends on the chile.
You can taste the chile seeds after drying to see if their inclusion would be worth it to you, or not.

So, it's the ribs, not seeds that contain the heat? Not to belabor the point, does drying temper that heat?
