Roughly half the bugs in projects I maintain are wishlist items. GNOME Bugzilla is more of a general task-tracker. Many of the tasks are exactly what you would think of as bugs, but many are not. Lots of developers open Bugzilla tickets for every change they make, even if it's just a code cleanup. And there are lots of projects in GNOME Bugzilla that are only tangentially identifiable with GNOME. Does a bug in gstreamer [1] count as a GNOME bug? (I bet there are as many or more gstreamer users running KDE as GNOME.) What about a bug in Dia [2]? Doxygen [3] tracks bugs on GNOME Bugzilla; should every Doxygen bug count as a GNOME bug? It'd probably be more meaningful to examine bugs for each module individually. [1] http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ [2] https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia/ [3] http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/
