Its just my experience. If a package I use has that many bugs and I'm
going to fix it I will take the bugs arising on my system and
everything clustered around the problem. There might be 150 unrelated
bugs but I would concentrate on the 20 bugs related to what happens on
my system, to what I can reproduce easily.
There also might be thousands of packages with independant bugs but
those are beside the point.
