Greetings,

This is great data, thanks for sharing Orion! I've cc'd the test@ list as well since I think this is of value there.

I apologize for this little bit of hubris. I recently filed my 1000th bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com (unfortunately closed NOTABUG). I thought I'd take a look at my statistics.

First bug filed 2002-12-07 (RHL 8.0) Avg rate of bugs - 1 / 2.85 days Most bugs filed in a day: 7 7 2008-03-18 7 2009-03-17 (Hmm, what is it about the ides of March! (probably testing new releases)) Top months: 29 2009-03 33 2008-03 By year: 1 2002 5 2003 18 2004 123 2005 198 2006 145 2007 197 2008 192 2009

I'm wondering if this was related to the anaconda storage re-write? That doesn't explain the similar numbers from previous years, but it would be interesting+difficult to map these trends to releases/features.

 121 2010 (a little slow to hit my ~200/year pace)

Top components: 19 autofs (we automount home and data dirs) 21 NetworkManager 32 selinux-policy-targeted 73 Package Review 91 selinux-policy ( I like quiet logwatch reports! ) 104 kernel 112 anaconda (I do a lot of automated installs)

I've said this to you before, but I'll say it again ... thank you for your contributions to Fedora installation validation.

6 palindrome bugs: 523325 528825 587785 523325 528825 587785

Heh, cute statistic. It's a shame there are no door prizes for the number of palindrome bugs. Otherwise, you would win them. :P

Open: 24 ASSIGNED 4 MODIFIED 73 NEW 4 ON_QA

Resolved: "valid": 10 CLOSED CANTFIX 134 CLOSED CURRENTRELEASE 2 CLOSED DEFERRED 75 CLOSED ERRATA 125 CLOSED NEXTRELEASE 265 CLOSED RAWHIDE 19 CLOSED UPSTREAM

"invalid": 70 CLOSED DUPLICATE 8 CLOSED INSUFFICIENT_DATA 99 CLOSED NOTABUG 70 CLOSED WONTFIX 18 CLOSED WORKSFORME

So 26.5% (so far) of my reports are no so useful. I shall have to try harder!

I don't think I'd call them 'not useful'. I subscribe to having more data, than no data. Of course, as a maintainer I've never had to DUPLICATE a large number of bugs. Your duplicate numbers above, while yes they add time spent triaging and duplicating related issues, they also impress upon the prevalence of the problem.

Here's to the next 1000!

Congrats and cheers! :)

Thanks, James
