Hello! I appreciate your concern but you do not appear to have a very good understanding of bug management in Ubuntu or Launchpad, so let me respond. The bugs on the bug page you are referring to are only open bugs, because those are the ones people are interested in looking at typically. So, naturally none of them are fixed, that is the entire point. Fix Committed means that a bug has been fixed in the package but not released yet. If you expand the search to look at "Fix Released" bugs which are hidden by default, you would see more than half the bugs are Fix Released. If you expand this to Invalid (bugs which aren't actually bugs at all) you will see only about 1/3 of bugs are still in an "open" state. In other words, your statistics are wildly inaccurate and you are not seeing the growing number of Fixed Released bugs every day!
Also, it may do you well to look into BugSquad (and related group BugControl), which is a large group of people who DO go over all new bugs collectively, multiple times. The number of open bugs may appear to not change, but what you have to realize is people are constantly filing new bugs while other bugs are constantly being fixed, so obviously the number of open bugs won't decrease. even though bugs are being fixed. In fact it will naturally increase as Ubuntu gains popularity and there are more users. If you don't think New bugs "go anywhere", I dare you to subscribe to a few new bugs (obviously, enough for a useful statistical sample) and see what happens. Again, because you are only looking at open bugs, you are not seeing the flux and movement of open to closed which constantly occurs, as new bugs come in at the same time. Also, Launchpad does not "dump" bugs. It removes bugs from default searches, and rather conservatively, by giving bug reporters who have been asked for more information 2 months to respond with that information. If they don't, the bug is expired. At this time all subscribers are notified and anyone can add the necessary information and re-open it. This is very helpful, as it sorts out bugs which a) can't be solved in their current state due to lack of information, and b) have not had that information added in a reasonable amount of time, and as such we can expect it probably won't be added. Again, the information can still be added and the bug re-opened. But developers don't typically want to see these stale bugs as it hinders their workflow. Please look into BugSquad/BugControl if you are actually interested, and maybe you can help out. However please gain a greater understanding of the process before being so critical and negative. You are confused about the numbers and what they mean and have drawn quick, wild, and completely invalid conclusions from them as a result. -- Ubuntu is drowning in bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
