Agreed. Lies, damned lies and statistics...

The really interesting metric would be bugs/nr_commits. That gives you
valuable information how good your subsystem works and interacts with the
rest of the kernel.

But even then you need to be careful about analyzing the nature of the
bugs, which range between sloppy and incredibly unfortunate because subtle
interaction with changes outside of that maintainer tree brought the
carefully worked out patch into broken state.

Thanks,
