Looking at that and other charts, some guestimates:
- QA is doing great at confirming bugs from UNCONFIRMED->NEW as UNCONFIRMED
  goes down
- QA/development is precise in telling people what is needed as NEEDINFO stays
  constant
- development fixes ~1000 issues in 6 months (one release cycle) which is good
- QA finds some ~1000 duplicates in 6 months (one release cycle) which is also
  good 
- QA closes some ~1000 issues as invalid in 6 months (one release cycle) which
  is good too
- our NEW bug count is still growing, but is slowing down and now at ~1000 more
  bugs in NEW in the last 8 months

So both QA and development are doing a really good job and are getting better
and better. Ideally, we should get the NEW count (excluding enhancement
requests) to be constant too: we are not quite there yet, but improving. And
with currently 1487 of the 6407 NEW bugs being actually enhancement requests,
the stats are somewhat muddy there.

Best,
