Match you, raise you 43.

It's also not terribly shocking. A bunch of mine are Assigned,
Released, FutureRelease, and similar statuses, but there are vast
quantities of issues still in New, including the majority of mine.

Yes. However, b.android.com is not the issue tracker of record -- an
internal one is. Hence, I am sure that there are some issues that are
being addressed but b.android.com has not been updated. And I am sure
there are plenty of issues that are largely being ignored, for
whatever reason.

It's not a black hole, but if you're expecting feedback, you're liable
to be disappointed.
