Good question - I guess one for the QA call later today (it'd be great
to have you there). I suppose we should (as you say) check that they are
all either fixed in 3.5.x and/or make them 'most annoying' for 3.5. I
guess volunteers to do that work (if that's what QA decides) are also
appreciated :-)

Sure - and to some degree perhaps some of our most annoying bugs are
getting a little less annoying over time as people's tolerance for bugs
decreases (good) and they file and prioritise more.

Right, IMHO we're fixing ever more of the most annoying issues that
have been found some of them really long standing nasties.

Yes ! that's a reasonable positive measure of progress.

Certainly; on the other hand, my interest in publishing the numbers is
to encourage people on this list to consider working at fixing
regression and/or most annoying bugs :-)
As such a rather negative way of looking at the numbers could help
motivate people ? ;-)
One of our big needs here is for people to dig into the UNCONFIRMED
bugs - that havn't had an independent confirmation from people - such
that we can (more quickly) dig out regressions and new issues from the
large incoming set of bugs. A quick bugzilla query for libreoffice bugs
in the unconfirmed state gives a good chunk of useful busy-work to fill
even small gaps of time :-)
Thanks,
Michael.
