The rate at which bugs are opened is a LOT higher then the rate of bugs that can be fixed. This adds a lot of bugs that won't ever be fixed.
The situation also isn't helped by the fact that a lot of the newly generated bug reports are not of good enough quality. Example: "My obscure app doesn't do xxx", without for example mentioning what the app is, or a link to a demo, or insufficient information to really reproduce the bug. The situation isn't improved by the fact that bugs are reopened by those persons after minimal additions. Perhaps we should have a bug moderation? Only allow bugs that follow the criterion, then have a way for bugzilla admins to accept bug reports and then a new bug report entry is created in bugzilla. -Maarten
