I don't know how long this pace will last. I suspect that bugs are reported faster than they are written, so we could in fact be purging a long backlog (and I hope so).
This makes sense, and the key way of making sure the bug reports are primarily about purging a backlog is to apply the same kind of scrutiny to code before it ever gets merged. Basically, the key is to use AI to improve code quality (both already merged and pre-merge) rather than just spamming as much new stuff as possible. This matches up very well with the article on Andrew Morton trying to make Sashiko a required part of submissions to the memory management subsystem.
