Nearly half as many open bugs in 2 years

Nearly half as many open bugs in 2 years

[Stefan Kangas]

Lars Ingebrigtsen's project to close 10 % of all bugs has now been
repeated 10 times.  As Lars points out, "we’re down about 45% [in
around two years], from about 4400 bugs to 2690 bugs".  I think this
effort is worth highlighting and congratulating.

Lars has an interesting write-up here with statistics and graphs:

Related to this, I'd like to highlight Lars's efforts to make sure that 
new patches get feedback promptly. As a relatively new contributor to 
Emacs, this has been a big encouragement for me to *keep* contributing, 
since I can be reasonably confident that any patch I submit will get 
reviewed and (hopefully) merged.

More generally, as someone who was slightly intimidated by the mailing 
list workflow, it turns out that as a contributor, there's really not 
much difference. For anyone thinking about contributing: don't worry, 
it's not that bad!

Lars, I appreciate your work on Emacs very much.
