Also having many bugs and The statistics also include bugs you have fixed in 1) documentation 2) other packages (ones you don't maintain) so, if you are so brilliant as a programmer that your packages don't have any bugs then you don't need to put any maintenance work into your packages. Why not lend a helping hand to fixing up the docs, or to plugging leaks in packages that are overwhelmed with bugs? PEAR is if nothing if not a community of developers. By reaching out to help those who are so swamped that they can't fix their own bugs, you are in fact going to improve your bug ranking as well as make some new grateful friends :).
