But how many of those are accepted? P1 is just set on the assumption the bug 
is geniune, for instance reported crashes usually get P1. But if it can't be 
reproduced it might never get accepted.

Also many modules are not maintained, is it in a module with an active 
maintainer of group?

I was more confused when I found P0 that had been open for 10 months. That 
wasn't really a P0.
