:BAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!  So let's see now, "technically" then, if we

No, it's an O(n) thing, per project. Plot bugzilla numbers against testers
at that time (nightly downloaders, active Bugzilla posters or whatever).
I vaguely recall someone reporting the same about Debian - obscure packages
with not many users may be bug farms but have very few reports, whereas
dpkg, which is used by almost everyone, works almost perfectly for everyone
but has a huge amount of bugs against it - most of which are valid.
