Also, lots of bugs does not necessarily mean the app is badly maintained.

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 > fixed to make it clearer. > This would be nice and will probably happen eventually.
