I was curious about the current efficacy of the BTS-based RFS process, and so created some charts[1] to provide visibility. The state classification used for the chart data is not completely vetted, but I believe it to be good enough to identify trends.
The RFS Activity chart[2] shows a open RFS count that is not under control. Post-freeze, submissions are averaging 20-30 per month. The backlog is at an all-time high, and is growing at about the same rate - a solid 20/month. The Comment Activity chart[3] shows the number of comments on open RFS bugs vs. age. Of the 112 currently open RFS issues that are more than a month old, 59 (52%) have no comments beyond the original author entry. A significant portion of the rest have just a second entry, also by the author. For this process to be effective, RFS resolutions need to be happening at a sustained rate of about 3-4 times the current level. It would also be better for community relations if the median comment count were higher.
