Note that the age of bugs is the important thing here. For instance, the Pager package is ranked 169 out of 170 packages with open bugs (bad), even though it has only 1 open bug, because the bug is more than 2 years old. This bug could easily be resolved (excellent solution is suggested by the original opener, Alan Knowles), and is an example of a bug that should be cleaned up as it helps to give PEAR a bad name for no good reason at all. By fixing and closing this bug, Pager would go from #169 to #1 instantly. Everyone wins.
first: thanks for your pearweb improvements, love them. About the Pager bug, I have finally "fixed" it (changing package.xml to v.2) and published a new release. FWIW, the "bug" wasn't really a "bug", just a pear policy on the file structure that was decided after some years of Pager's existence, and which didn't affect Pager quality at all. I hardly think it gave PEAR a bad name, even considering the care I had always given to Pager. BTW: the new rank information doesn't appear when there are no open bugs for the package. Not sure if it is intentional.
