Only looking at patches that were later found and fixed would not be measuring the same thing as what they were doing.
Not saying what they were doing was in any way ok, but I do doubt there's any way to measure what they were trying to measure without deliberately introducing bugs into some sort of review stream. Merely using observational data would produce results that are approximately as useful as those of every other observational design. (to wit: not very)
- hinkley 6y agoIf you're filing a patch with a pattern you think will get by the review process, why not look to see if that pattern already existed in the code? That would give you the same information and you're potentially uncovering zero days instead of creating them, assuming those issues haven't already been fixed.
