Re: [gentoo-dev] [warning] the bug queue has 81 bugs

[Andreas K. Huettel]

I take a data point on the number of open bugs for a few queries twice per 
day, see 

http://www.akhuettel.de/gentoo-bugs/

Bugwrangler bugs is one of the plots further down in the list. On this scale 
no obvious pattern is visible, but I'll make later on a plot for a shorter 
time period....

Cheers, A

PS. Yes Infra knows and I promised not to extend this to more and more 
queries... :)
