No, and I won't. You floated a big number as an example of "not wheel-spinning", and alone, that isn't sufficient. Or even a good indicator, much less a refutation of wheel-spinning.
Why is it any better than giving a different meaningless number out of a bug tracking system. Without looking at the bugs you can't tell how significant they are, so it doesn't tell you anything either. I'm not going to post a changelog for the last four years of the linux kernel development. It would be kind of silly, especially since it is all readily available. But, to be quite honest, calling the work of current linux kernel developers wheel-spinning is rather insulting. I joined this list rather recently, and am trying to get an idea of what kind of group it is. So far, all I've really learned is that it doesn't really have kernel developers on it, and the postings almost seem hostile to kernel developers. I'm not sure I really would want to go to a regular KPLUG meeting, or even continue on the mailing list.
