I was curious about the rate of bug reporting in Fedora, and did
this quick experiment. I thought it might be interesting to folks
here who either work on the infrastructure or are curious about
long-term collaboration trends in Fedora.

I checked the date of reporting of every 10,000th bug (bugzilla #1,
#10000, etc, all the way to the recent 1150000---see attached data).
Some bugs were private so I didn't have access to their info, but I
got enough data to  calculate bug velocity (increase in the bug
number divided by the time interval) over time. The data is a little
noisy, but you can clearly see the ever-increasing trend.
I'm afraid there are a couple of problems with this analysis:
- Automated bugs (eg from abrt) may or may not be considered to be
  real bug reports.
Just a  COUPLE? Thank you, kind Sir---I would have said it's rife with problems. For one thing
it totally ignores the distinction of Fedora vs. EPEL and RedHat bugs. Still, it gives an order of
magnitude estimate and the trend. No matter what the origin of the bugs, they still have to
be dealt with somehow.

- Bugzilla has both imported large bug sets from other databases at
  various times (when Red Hat acquired other companies), and also has
  had periods when it didn't allocate bug numbers sequentially.  At
  one point IIRC each new bug report incremented the bug ID by 10.
Ah so that's where the spikes come from. I was wondering.
