Thanks. For the "All time" numbers, I guess this means that 66,154 (7.4%) of all rc0 patches were fixed later. If 5.19 has a similar proportion of patches to be fixed, about 2/3 of that are fixed before the 5.19 release, and 1/3 will be fixed later; that sounds worrying, but I expect that the bugs that survive into the release cause fewer problems than the ones that have been caught earlier, at least for functionality bugs (security is a different issue).
