Emacs bug statistics 2008-2017

Some statistics extracted from ten years of Emacs bug reports.

These figures only tell us who is reporting bugs (and including the template information); not who is using Emacs.

In each year, each unique email address reporting bugs is only counted once.

Relevant quantities are not always present in the reports.

Percentages are relative to total number of unique bug reporters.

Ie, there is always a large implicit "unknown" percentage.

Rarer values are not plotted; see emacs-devel post.
