Sorry for this... but I could not resist... :-)It is only my opinion and, perhaps, it comes out fro the idea of Programming one has in mind.
I won't recommend drawing any conclusions from just the number of the last filed bug. Especially since the Emacs bug database is shared with other projects (e.g., Coreutils). As another data point, the GNU Make's bug number approaches 30,000... More to the point: Emacs maintainers do test as deeply as practically possible for each one of them. A bootstrap is a lengthy procedure for someone who has maybe an hour a day to work on Emacs. We are grateful to all those who do have resources to bootstrap and test on other systems, and report results here.
Often the bugs come from lack of bootstrap, and bootstrap (+PDF manual, +tar.xz of the binary distribution) takes about 25 minutes on Cygwin, which is only an emulator...
In any case, thanks for the work of developers. Ciao, Angelo.
