I agree with the formula. But there is ways to make it more efficient, get a better quotient from it: The triage team is one factor. So, instead of X/Y, you have (X/t)/Y, meaning that the triage team will filter noise. One, that I have long been campaining for, is to multiply Y by R, where R is the distributions: X/(R * Y) will be much better.. And, of course, reduce the time needed for every Y to do their work, repackage, fix the code, manage patches or generally finish each issue. -- Say NO to spam and viruses.
