The last two releases hadn't reached end-of-life yet. I just updated that entry, with the latest numbers for F7/F8, and threw in F9 too.
total kernel F7 5534 724 F8 7589 902 F9 4624 292
Given F9 has only been out a few weeks, that's quite high. As more people move from F7 -> F8 as F7 gets closer to end of life, the bug count there is shifting too. (for point of reference, F7 is on 2.6.24, F8 is about to get a .25 update, F9 was released with .25)

My majority of my job is still spending reading and dealing with bugzilla. I think if there were a noticable drop-off, I'd have more time to be sitting around eating cheetos or doing something else. That hasn't happened.
