Hello,

 

I have been trying to find out all the bug list statistics for all previous version releases but I could not get any information regarding this on internet.

So can you please help me to get these details.

 

Also please let me know if this is not right mailing list for such question then to which list I should send.

 

Thanks and Regards,

I'm not aware of any statistics; I think you would need to pass the
release notes for each minor release, classify which are bug fixes,
and count them.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release.html

It might be hard to classify the severity of each bug fixed, because
sometimes there are fixes for bugs which have never actually been
reported by users, and some fixes only affect those using optional
extensions.

And some of the fixes span back multiple releases, so it would appear in
multiple minor releases but is the same fix.
