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 :-)
