Notes
Bug 7260 is ignored which is about an A11Y test suite. There are also 3 "open" (REOPENED) much older A11Y bugs which are not include these in computing the "age" value above since they are quite a bit older and would have biased the statistic.

About half of the NEW bugs that existed last week were processed this week.
