Curious, I ran some queries in the bugzilla. Here are the number of unresolved open bug reports in the aforementioned categories:

Blocker: 22 (11 with patches)
Critical: 24 (2 with patches)
Major: 67 (4 with patches)
Normal: 144 (9 with patches)

Total of the above: 257

Total bug reports related to building/compiling: 36

Total open unresolved bug reports, all levels, not tagged as wishes or enhancement reports: 346

How many of these bug reports remain current and valid remains to be seen.

Enhancement/wish list requests: 116

Proposed R14 release date per wiki: Spring 2012. June 19 is the last day of spring, which means 104 days. To resolve all Blocker, Critical, Major and 50% of Normal bug reports means 185 bug reports resolved. That means 1.8 bug reports per day. To resolve all Normal bugs in the same period means 2.5 bug reports per day. To resolve all unclosed bug reports means 3.3 bug reports per day. Assuming no new bug reports being filed.
