The point you seem to be deliberately missing is that the opportunity for something to happen and something happened are not equivalent. There is a natural assumption that because there is the opportunity for many people (however you decide to define "many") to review/audit/test code in open source projects, somebody must be doing so. Even when you base that assumption on the number of contributors to the project, non sequitur; feature addition/refinement does not imply bug fixing.


The NSA has lots of eyes, and they don't report the bugs they find. (Unless it's via parallel reconstruction...)
