That's not logical - how, exactly, would the developer console know that you
actually fixed the reported bugs? Also, lots of bugs does
not necessarily mean the app is badly maintained. All apps have bugs, but a
popular app with hundreds of thousands of users will very likely have many
more bug reports by sheer volume than an app with a smaller install base.
This does not mean that second app is any better maintained.

What makes you think the Android Console bug tracker works this way?

It's called coincidence. It's also called "the Android Market is completely
unpredictable and prone to temper tantrums, where app rankings shift
dramatically, download counts are lost, and apps can no longer be found at
all". Welcome to the "Google Experience"!

I can't be sure, that's right, but I'd really like this console bug to get

This would be nice and will probably happen eventually. Remember this bug
tracking thing is still very new and definitely reeks of "beta".
