1000 Bug reports

[Orion Poplawski]

I apologize for this little bit of hubris.  I recently filed my 1000th bug 
report at bugzilla.redhat.com (unfortunately closed NOTABUG).  I thought I'd 
take a look at my statistics.

First bug filed 2002-12-07 (RHL 8.0)
Avg rate of bugs - 1 / 2.85 days
Most bugs filed in a day: 7
       7 2008-03-18
       7 2009-03-17
(Hmm, what is it about the ides of March! (probably testing new releases))
Top months:
      29 2009-03
      33 2008-03
By year:
       1 2002
       5 2003
      18 2004
     123 2005
     198 2006
     145 2007
     197 2008
     192 2009
     121 2010 (a little slow to hit my ~200/year pace)

Top components:
      19 autofs  (we automount home and data dirs)
      21 NetworkManager
      32 selinux-policy-targeted
      73 Package Review
      91 selinux-policy ( I like quiet logwatch reports! )
     104 kernel
     112 anaconda (I do a lot of automated installs)

6 palindrome bugs:
523325
528825
587785
523325
528825
587785

Open:
      24 ASSIGNED
       4 MODIFIED
      73 NEW
       4 ON_QA

Resolved:
"valid":
      10 CLOSED CANTFIX
     134 CLOSED CURRENTRELEASE
       2 CLOSED DEFERRED
      75 CLOSED ERRATA
     125 CLOSED NEXTRELEASE
     265 CLOSED RAWHIDE
      19 CLOSED UPSTREAM

"invalid":
      70 CLOSED DUPLICATE
       8 CLOSED INSUFFICIENT_DATA
      99 CLOSED NOTABUG
      70 CLOSED WONTFIX
      18 CLOSED WORKSFORME

So 26.5% (so far) of my reports are no so useful.  I shall have to try harder!

Here's to the next 1000!

Greetings,

This is great data, thanks for sharing Orion!  I've cc'd the test@ list
as well since I think this is of value there.

I'm wondering if this was related to the anaconda storage re-write?
That doesn't explain the similar numbers from previous years, but it
would be interesting+difficult to map these trends to releases/features.

I've said this to you before, but I'll say it again ... thank you for
your contributions to Fedora installation validation.

Heh, cute statistic.  It's a shame there are no door prizes for the
number of palindrome bugs.  Otherwise, you would win them. :P

I don't think I'd call them 'not useful'.  I subscribe to having more
data, than no data.  Of course, as a maintainer I've never had to
DUPLICATE a large number of bugs.  Your duplicate numbers above, while
yes they add time spent triaging and duplicating related issues, they
also impress upon the prevalence of the problem.

Congrats and cheers! :)

Thanks,
James

You have greatly helped out with SELinux testing.  Thanks a lot.
