Bugs -- Bug reports and submitted patches to fix those bugs.

Patches -- Longer term development, e.g., new features, redoing 
something fragile, stuff that requires a lot of thought, may not make 
the grade after review and test.  It's items that really wouldn't be 
considered bugs but more like a work in progress.

The balance is typically more bug reports than patch reports.  Patches 
for bugs are typically small.  Patches for catch-all "patches" are 
typically large.  Relatively speaking.
