Two months ago, I discovered and reported that about 1/5 of open issues had no responses. Is that 'reasonably well'?
I don't know. What percentage of new issues get ever get a response? My wild guess is that it's probably about 99.9%, but the 0.1% that don't remain languishing forever, skewing the statistics. What's the average age of those 1 in 5 issues? Maybe 1 in 5 is exactly right, given the realities of people available to respond to issues versus people available to report issues. Maybe 1 in 5 is supernaturally good, given our resources available. -- Steven D'Aprano
