With this many bugs being found and fixed by a fuzzer, is actual progress being made? Are these kinds of bugs being fixed faster than they are being added?

Ideally you'd like each patch, before merging, to be subjected to targeted fuzzing in the area being modified. If that can be made efficient enough, it could maybe detect issues *before* they are merged.

But it's amazing that fuzzing has gotten this advanced. Good stuff!
