Interesting experiment. Let's do it my way:

[adamw at adam ~]$ bugzilla query -p Fedora -c pulseaudio --outputformat="%{bug_status} %{resolution}" | sort

if you do that and take a look at the results...you get 372 bugs. 27 are
NEW, and 6 are ASSIGNED - so only 33 open bugs. 4 are CLOSED CANTFIX, 69
are CLOSED NOTABUG, 17 CLOSED INSUFFICIENT_DATA, 17 CLOSED WORKSFORME,
70 are CLOSED DUPLICATE - 177 that were considered and closed for
probably valid reasons. And: 15 are CLOSED CURRENTRELEASE, 5 are CLOSED
ERRATA, 6 are CLOSED NEXTRELEASE and 92 are CLOSED RAWHIDE - that's 118
that were fixed. 25 are CLOSED UPSTREAM.

I don't see anything particularly wrong with those numbers. Obviously a
lot of valid bugs have been filed and properly fixed. The amount that
are currently outstanding is not at all unreasonable as a proportion of
the total, and not an unmanageable number of bugs taken absolutely. I
suspect you'd see very similar proportions if you looked at, say, all
kernel bugs, or all X bugs.
