Interresting. Just be careful results are produced for the big picture

and not used to point fingers at individuals.

One thing I thought of is that the more "Acked-by", "Reviewed-by" and

"Signed-off-by" lines a patch has, the better reviewed we can probably

assume it to be and thus the probability of it having introduced a bug

probably drops slightly compared to other less-reviewed patches... or

maybe not, but at least it's something to think about :-)
