I read a while ago about
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_analysis> and it seemed to me
that would be an interesting way to answer jml's old question about
"are we fixing bugs any faster", and to deal with the right-censored
data.  (ie, we don't know how long bugs filed last week will actually
live.)  "Survival" in this context means a bug remaining open.  I
haven't got around to actually doing any code for it yet.
