+
+In this quarter we have decreased the Problem Reports count.
+
+Although we do continue to get patches for the src tree, the majority of patches we receive are for ports.
+This may be due to the auto-notifier customizations we have implemented.
+
+For the src tree, in the last 180 days we have received 643 new Problem Reports and closed 844.
+For ports, the count was 3493 in and 4375 respectively.
+
+We do not currently maintain statistics about how many of these actually generate commits, although we do believe the number to be non-trivial.
+
+During the same 180-day period Mark Linimon and Torsten Zuehlsdorff continued to work to triage older Problem Reports.
+Mark's work was partly funded by the FreeBSD Foundation in 2025.
+These results are visible from the last two dips in our link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/page.cgi?id=showreport.html&type=total_open_bugs_over_time[Total Open Bugs Over Time] graph.
+
+
+As well, we seem to be getting more attention from various FreeBSD committers this year.
+Please contact mailto:bugmeister@FreeBSD.org[bugmeister] if you are interested in helping.
+
+Of course, we still are doing better at triaging PRs than we are generating attention to the ones we already have.
+Suggestions welcome.
+
+Mark Linimon has taken on the long-term project of making sure that the submitted patches all apply.
+However, he does not claim to be a QA person and to be able to evaluate their aptness by himself.
+
+The general takeaway is that, with user education, we are getting better-quality Problem Reports this year.
+In particular, the ones with patches are being tested for applicability within a week or two of their arrival, and corrected if needed.
+
+However, the farther back in time you go, the more problematic the PRs get, especially 2019 and earlier.
+I suppose this is to be expected.
+Mark continues to work on these in the background.
+The current count is 2611.
+Around 427 of these, mostly from 2019 and earlier, still need further work.
+
+A problem with the setup of the upgrade to Bugzilla 5.2 has been fixed.
+Light testing showed no meaningful regressions.
+A bugfix version to 5.2.1 is imminent.
+Switching to this codebase is intended to be as soon at it is released.
+It was initially planned for earlier, however, it seemed inadvisable when the release engineering for FreeBSD 15.0 was ongoing, and then got further put off for 15.1.
+
+"patchQA.py" still remains in beta.
+The patch application code is not up to its task and must be replaced.
+
+The other problem known with patchQA.py is that it does not know the origins of files that are installed into /etc by installworld.
+There are external shell scripts that are in testing to help automate fixing the data.
+This may be simpler than trying to write more fragile Python code for this purpose.
+
+We have created many new Bugzilla accounts by user request.
+The number of new-account requests has increased this year.
+So far in 2026 we are at 291, which is not quite 2 per day.
+
+It is now a year since we started requiring emailed requests to create accounts, rather than allowing automated requests.
+By doing so, the spam flood has been reduced to nearly zero.
+
+The other problem that we are monitoring is the huge number of http requests from crawlers.
+By now these requests far outnumber those from actual FreeBSD users.
+These are the cause for the sudden slowdowns our users object to.
+As none of us are professional sysadmins, we would welcome help from someone with professional experience dealing with them.
+
+Thanks to Alexander Ziaee and the many others who have helped to bring us up to our current state.
