We don't have a bug tracker, thus there is nothing to gather statistics
from. We have a web form that is really just a sequence in a database
that generates a bug id, and then remails the whole form to pgsql-bugs.
For discussions of why we don't have one, see about a billion mails in
the archives over the past 10 years or so :-(
