I don't know. What percentage of new issues get ever get a response? My 
wild guess is that it's probably about 99.9%, but the 0.1% that don't 
remain languishing forever, skewing the statistics. What's the average 
age of those 1 in 5 issues? Maybe 1 in 5 is exactly right, given the 
realities of people available to respond to issues versus people 
available to report issues. Maybe 1 in 5 is supernaturally good, given 
our resources available.
