    <p>Hello Hadi,</p>
    <p>In Bugzilla we use META bugs or Tracking bugs <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Tracking_Bugs"><
      https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Tracking_Bugs ></a> in order
      to track related bugs.</p>
    <p>I believe we started to use them extensively in 2017.</p>
    <p>Cheers</p>

        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I have a question regarding bug dependency in LibreOffice. <br
            clear="all">
          <div>
            <div>While I was studying the blocking and blocked bugs, I
              found that in LibreOffice, after 2017, there is a sudden
              spike in the number of the found dependencies [<a
                href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.05382.pdf"
                target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">1</a>].</div>
            <div style="text-align:center"><img
                src="cid:part2.D568C1B9.69A1CA2C@libreoffice.org"
                alt="image.png" class="" width="457" height="506"><br>
            </div>
            <div><i>Figure1- The monthly evolution of mean depth and
                degree of the Bug Dependency Graph for the LibreOffice
                project (x-axis corresponds to the year and </i>the <i>y-axis
                corresponds to the mean depth and degree of the graph).</i></div>
            <div>  <br>
            </div>
            <div>May I ask what is the interpretation for that sudden
              increase? What happened that developers started to find
              these many bug dependencies?</div>
            <div> </div>
            <div>Thank you for your help in advance. I hope that I
              contacted the correct list.</div>
