After 39 years of EMACS maintenance, having ONLY 3000 bugs is AMAZING.

FTFY: most commercial software projects get 3,000 bugs in 3-5 years (if they're successful and grow), and you quickly need a serious database (e.g. jira) to curate them. It's not a morale issue because there's product manager(s) who manage this herd, not eng, and there's no expectation of zero defects because the goal is to win marketshare, which is far removed from any individual bug.
