Bearophile has just entered his 1000th bug report into Bugzilla.
This is more than the three next most prolific contributers, combined.

The top ten bug reporters are (courtesy of Deskzilla):

1002 Bearophile

 315 Andrej Mitrovic
 308 Don Clugston
 282 David Simcha

 193 Andrei Alexandrescu
 185 Jonathon M Davis
 176 Kenji Hara

 156 Timon Gehr
 155 Thomas Kühne
 141 Max Samukha
-----------
There are only 9 others who have reported 100 bugs or more,
and only another 19 who have reported 50 or more.

So, if you are wondering why the number of open bugs has continued
to climb despite a massive increase in the rate of bugfixing, now you know. What it really means is that we're getting a lot of bugs being reported, which normally wouldn't be found for a couple of years.

Congratulations, Bugbear!

For those who like statistics:

bearophile has filed 435 enhancement requests, 44 of which have been implemented.
He has filed 567 regular bugs, of which 212 have been fixed.

Especially the last part is impressive. Only 3 other people have filed more bugs than bearophile has had fixed, and I find it unlikely all of their bugs have been fixed.

With this, allow me to join the chorus - congratulations, bearophile!

I love his comment in the first report: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3813

<quote>
This is my first bug report in this bug tracker. I will probably add here some
more bugs, some of them will probably be duplicates of already present bugs.
Most of them will be bugs, I try to limit the true enhancements requests to
very few and small, because D2 is now feature frozen.

I remember a time, years ago (2008?), when he would pester everyone here and had a reputation for finding bugs and *never reporting them*. People used to tssk-tssk him on this.

Now, wow :)

Congratulations, bearophile!

Now, the real question is, what will be bug #10_000? We should let him have it ;-p

Congrats, bearophile! (What a loser I am...)

Imagine, if he didn't try to limit the true enhancement requests to very few... Walter would go crazy. :)

Grats! Next step: start working on pull request. I have the feeling once bearophile starts contributing code, there'll be another change of phase in the bug dynamics!

I tried to convince him on IRC to start contributing code not too long ago, arguing that he's a better programmer than I am and even I've gotten a bug fix or two in.  He says he's not as competent as he sounds which is patently absurd. He'll be an even bigger asset to D than he is already once he decides to start sending pull requests.

I never got the impression that he held back... :)

I only worry that if he does start contributing, he'll instead spend all his time finding bugs in C++. :o)
