<p dir="ltr">A bug fix month is certainly not a bad idea. It gives people who want to contribute a good starting point if they don't know where to begin. I fall under that category so I would benefit from that. A win-win situation as they say.</p>

Over most of the past year, I have been keeping an eye on the overall LLVM.org open-bug count.<br>
<br>
Sampling the count (almost) every Monday morning, it is a consistently non-decreasing number.<br>
<br>
I thought I’d post something about it to the Dev lists, as the count broke 4000 this past week.<br>
<br>
For your entertainment here’s a chart that Excel produced from the data. (To make it more<br>
<br>
dramatic, I carefully did not use a proper zero point on the X-axis.)<br>
<br>
I do not have per-category breakdowns, sorry, just the raw total.<br>

Makes me think more seriously about cruising the bug list for something that looks like<br>

I could actually fix it…<br>

More users and more bug reports - I wouldn't be surprised if the hidden number of "bugs" was over 10k. Is there a way to get bugs fixed per month or per week? Even if that number was decreasing I'd just attribute it to llvm/clang stabilizing and things becoming more complicated to fix. By comparison how many open issues does gcc currently have. I'm not trying to take away from your point, but there's probably not magic bullet.<br>
<br>
Maybe a bug fix month? (Trying to sort out a bunch of low hanging fruit that new developers may be able to fix?)<br>
