BTW: You can get alll these statistics yourself using the bugzilla "Reports" page - use "Resolution" for one of the axis, and then filter as you want (for example with a date range).
Thanks for some facts, Christian.
I don't think those stats we can obtain cover the full image. For example, there are the bugs that don't get a reply for months (just the one from triage). Those that never get handled, get closed by a bot when the release is too old.
Yes, I know, and - like everybody - I don't like this, and know that it can be demotivating. "At least" the number of bugs that suffer from this problem is not too big. They are part of the "wontfix" bugs, and (as I already mentioned in my previous mail), the amount of wontfix is quite small: - 430 of 5300 bugs reported in 2018 - 800 of 4980 bugs reported in 2017 Now compare that to 2450 (in 2018) and 2460 (in 2017) bugs that were fixed... Note that "wontfix" gets also used if a developer decides not to fix a bug (for whatever reason), so the actual number of bugs that get closed because a release gets out of support is smaller. (Unfortunately, filtering that out isn't easy (you'd have to check the bug comments), therefore I don't have exact numbers.) Even if you assume that all the 800 wontfix bugs from 2017 were closed as "out of support" (which is a wrong and too pessimistic assumption), the chance to get your bug fixed is still 3 times bigger ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Wenn ein Fussel, will man ihn vom Boden aufheben, sich von alleine aus dem Staub macht, ist das kein Grund zur Freude, sondern eine Spinne.
