I would add some new notes beside what I already wrote. I think that the majority of bugs are reported by people using unstable or testing. This means that usually all reporters are developers. I think that almost all developers using unstable may write in english. This is not true now, since we released so long ago that many non developers already switched to testing. If this is the case, then probably only a small part of the reports will be issued against stable; and only a part of those reports will not be in english.
