[...] In our case roughly 30 RC-bugs per month." This is incorrect. Looking through the historical data you will see in that in the linear region of each successive freeze (the bit that you extrapolated out to June 2009 for lenny's release), that the sarge release was at around 0.6 bugs per day being fixed, etch was 1.1 bugs/day and lenny is currently 2.0. If tripling the rate of bug squashing is only modest success, then you're a hard one to please indeed. “We can’t solve the problem by trying to fix bugs faster, we’ve tried it several times with mediocre success.

But with the time you invest in criticizing the release process and complicating the work of other developers with reportbug-ng, your contribution to the release process negative. That doesn’t make people likely to listen to your proposals about helping it. It’s not that I like to come up with such arguments; I know I could have fixed more of them myself.
