Could you name a few of these "bugs"? I use Emacs for practically everything and bugs are very difficult to encounter, even on Emacs HEAD.

Well, that's just plain wrong. A lot of vanilla Emacs functionality is written in Elisp.
- otabdeveloper4 3y agoCore Emacs is simple enough to mostly be bug-free. But any elisp package will have lots of annoying small day-to-day bugs and glitches.

If you're submitting to MELPA you need to make sure your package works and follows some guidelines for namespaces and organization, which can all the checked within emacs itself. Every package on a package tracker is vetted by at least one external dev. Emacs functions usually require little to no modification for years, because the core is very stable.
