personally I believe the stats thing isn't trustworthy as IMHO not
having bugs can be better than fixing bugs. Also having many bugs and
fixing them is better than having a few bugs and let them remain open.
By the other hand, not having bugs can be either consequence of a high
quality application or a not so popular application (the more users
the higher the probability of finding a bug and having it reported).
In a few words, fixing bugs is not always a good thing. Not fixing
bugs is always a bad thing. So there is no much sense in label someone
better than others just based on a bug count. Definitely we can say
someone is more experienced than others based on a bug count.
Including feature requests in the stats would take me to the bottom of
the rank as MDB2_Schema has some "nice" requests like "add support for
views" :D
anyway I enjoy checking the stats regularly so creating a new stats
page for feature requests sounds cool for me ;)
Cheers,
iGor.

Hi guys, As many people know we now have bug stats pear developer, by month, overall and such stuff but at the moment it only includes bugs and doc problems, why not rename it from bug stats into ticket stats and include feature requests also ? Or should that be yet another column ? I'd think it would be neat to see that even tho it's not strictly bugs but since those stats are mostly just ego boosts (we don't use those developer stats for anything useful per say) then IMHO we should perhaps include and even put this all on a new page (stats.php is getting kinda heavy IMHO :P) What say ye ?
