Or maybe the first link is wrong, and it is not the tool that is the reason of 
the drop... Mark Shuttleworth is pursuing an agenda, and his blog is all about 
pushing his agenda.

In case of launchpad, the agenda is that everybody should use it and drop 
whatever else they are using. In light of that, it is no surprise that he 
would take such a graph and show to the world how launchpad is efficient, even 
if the reallity is different and the inkscape team just cleaned up their bug 
database. Which is something they could have done in their previous bug 
reporting tool, but in my experience, such cleaning happen when there is a big 
momentum in the community such as a new release or a new tool.
