Oh, a fraction of a percent at the moment, fortunately, although my
perceptions are lower than reality since most of the challenges get
caught by the filters we use to catch the bazillion bounces and mail
delivery warnings that come our way, and end up in a rarely-read mailbox
on master.

The ones that are actually interesting would probably be challenges in
response to your-bug-has-been-closed acknowledgements.
