Is that really such a massive number of bug reports, for a project as large as FreeBSD? I'm not convinced.

  Perhaps it's not as large as you think, relatively speaking. If we take a look at bugs.freebsd.org, it seems that many bug reports are opened and left to rot for years. The documentation section of the tracker is no exception. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/page.cgi?id=showreport.html&type=total_open_bugs_over_time https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/page.cgi?id=showreport.htm... Seems to be getting worse with time too.

    >many bug reports are opened and left to rot for years Yup. This is common for many project, like llvm: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues
