Out of how many total bugs? Simply reported 8k bugs without a comparison
tells us nothing.

Considering that Fedora is roughly 120 months old, that's about 66 bugs
per month closed. That out of how many packages? That's, roughly, less
than 1 bug per package ever that's been closed as wontfix. (meaningless,
but think about it)
