Honestly, Jani's... uh, unique approach was a large part of why I've tried to get a little more involved in bug triage work in the last year. The point is that there are actually quite a few people these days who keep up with the bug queue; it's actually fairly unusual for bugs to be left closed when they're legitimate, even if the initial triager makes a mistake. (We're all human.) Of course, not everyone agrees on what an invalid bug is, and people will complain if and when their pet issue is closed because it's not actually a bug in PHP. That's a separate problem. > btw: why can't we see the status changes in the Changes tab at the bugreports? > it would be an interesting to check how many bugs were first marked as > bogus then re-opened and fixed. I believe we only have that information for bugs filed and updated since the new bug tracker codebase was rolled out, which was relatively recent. A cursory search through my bugs mailing list folder suggests that about 25 bugs have been reopened from Bogus or Won't Fix this year. In the same time period, about 1700 bugs or feature requests have been lodged, and some of the bugs that have been reopened are from before this year. It might be infuriating for the reporter to see something be considered not an issue and then reopened, but to be frank, I don't think fewer than 1.5% of bugs (in fact, almost certainly much less than 1%, but I'm not going to sit up and do a rigorous statistical analysis to prove it) going through that is a bad job at all.
