Some (stupid) analysis on bug counts

In the last week (RC released, lots of people traveling to GC summit, trunk open for development) 200 more bugs were open than closed

In the last month, +400 (meaning another 3 weeks to have a +200 bugs open)

Plasma was in about 400 bugs till trunk was open to development, now it has 445 (I think it will not reach 400 for the final release).

So, we are "losing ground" just before release, not a good thing. But I wonder how many of those new bugs are actually valid, as Aaron said, many people are using older than rc1 versions to test and report duplicates.

KDE have 150 less bugs than one year before (approaching KDE 4.1 release)!
Opening ~27000 bugs and closing ~27150 bugs
Only two developers: andresbajotierra and finex have closed around 20% of those.

This is terrific news, in one year much new code has entered in KDE but bug count remained mostly the same, meaning that bug per code line as counted by bugzilla has decreased -> KDE quality has incresed.

Konqueror, Plasma and Amarok received more than 2000 reports (meaning more than 6 reports daily). Amarok added ~400 bugs, Plasma added ~200 bugs and Amarok _decreased_ ~200 bugs.
Kudos to the Amarok team!

  2. There's still another round of mass closes from the last bugday to do.

    Hopefully that one or the next few will help us pick up some more new triagers.

    And yes, Dario and FiNeX do lots of work. ;)
    Thank them copiously, there isn't much glory in bugwork.
