link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/page.cgi?id=showreport.html&type=total_open_bugs_over_time[] + +Contact: Bugmeister + +In this quarter we have decreased the Problem Reports count. + +Although we do continue to get patches for the src tree, the majority of patches we receive are for ports. +This may be due to the auto-notifier customizations we have implemented. + +For the src tree, in the last 180 days we have received 643 new Problem Reports and closed 844. +For ports, the count was 3493 in and 4375 respectively. + +We do not currently maintain statistics about how many of these actually generate commits, although we do believe the number to be non-trivial. + +During the same 180-day period Mark Linimon and Torsten Zuehlsdorff continued to work to triage older Problem Reports. +Mark's work was partly funded by the FreeBSD Foundation in 2025. +These results are visible from the last two dips in our link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/page.cgi?id=showreport.html&type=total_open_bugs_over_time[Total Open Bugs Over Time] graph. + + +As well, we seem to be getting more attention from various FreeBSD committers this year. +Please contact mailto:bugmeister@FreeBSD.org[bugmeister] if you are interested in helping. + +Of course, we still are doing better at triaging PRs than we are generating attention to the ones we already have. +Suggestions welcome. + +Mark Linimon has taken on the long-term project of making sure that the submitted patches all apply. +However, he does not claim to be a QA person and to be able to evaluate their aptness by himself. + +The general takeaway is that, with user education, we are getting better-quality Problem Reports this year. +In particular, the ones with patches are being tested for applicability within a week or two of their arrival, and corrected if needed. + +However, the farther back in time you go, the more problematic the PRs get, especially 2019 and earlier. +I suppose this is to be expected. +Mark continues to work on these in the background. +The current count is 2611. +Around 427 of these, mostly from 2019 and earlier, still need further work. + +A problem with the setup of the upgrade to Bugzilla 5.2 has been fixed. +Light testing showed no meaningful regressions. +A bugfix version to 5.2.1 is imminent. +Switching to this codebase is intended to be as soon at it is released. +It was initially planned for earlier, however, it seemed inadvisable when the release engineering for FreeBSD 15.0 was ongoing, and then got further put off for 15.1. + +"patchQA.py" still remains in beta. +The patch application code is not up to its task and must be replaced. + +The other problem known with patchQA.py is that it does not know the origins of files that are installed into /etc by installworld. +There are external shell scripts that are in testing to help automate fixing the data. +This may be simpler than trying to write more fragile Python code for this purpose. + +We have created many new Bugzilla accounts by user request. +The number of new-account requests has increased this year. +So far in 2026 we are at 291, which is not quite 2 per day. + +It is now a year since we started requiring emailed requests to create accounts, rather than allowing automated requests. +By doing so, the spam flood has been reduced to nearly zero. + +The other problem that we are monitoring is the huge number of http requests from crawlers. +By now these requests far outnumber those from actual FreeBSD users. +These are the cause for the sudden slowdowns our users object to. +As none of us are professional sysadmins, we would welcome help from someone with professional experience dealing with them. + +Thanks to Alexander Ziaee and the many others who have helped to bring us up to our current state. + +See also: link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/Bugzilla/SearchQueries[]
