The "number of bugs" is always a bad metric. You could have ten bugs about typos in man pages vs. one whopper - how do you measure that?

Well, presumably the bugs can be weighted by their severity (assigned by a person) or by the number of times this bug was reported (by the automated reporting tool). Maybe "number of bugs" isn't accurate but rather "number of people who reported this" or "number of crashes caused by this bug".

It isn't perfect but it's a start.
