There is a disclaimer at the bottom of kparal's blog post, at least.
And the page is written carefully enough to not give credit to the
"Top 10" only.

Has anyone ever before retrieved and refined statistics from bugzilla?

It demands special efforts of the people who act in that area. In similar
ways, Fedora Packaging requires special efforts of people who do packages.
Hurdles everywhere. ;)

I once had a look at what it would take to contribute "an official" test
of Fedora Test Release media (e.g. my pet peeve scenario "DVD image on HDD"),
but the Wiki pages were like a maze, very brief or for insiders only, new
images were thrown out quickly (with no rsync access), with hardly any
activity on test-list but probably heavy activity only on IRC. As I wrote,
not everyone's cup of tea.

If community people take the time to become familiar with all that,
that's great.
