I'm not sure why this isn't included in the blog, but I was curious about the ratio between bugs and commits. Presented here are my calculations in order of total number of bugs:

Intel : 11.86%

[1] Independent : 2.27%

Red Hat : 9.74%

Linaro : 12.73%

Google : 12.78%

AMD : 9.70%

The above is based on the bug count table in the article.

[1] I combined the total bug count for independent and kernel.org because they are combined for the total contributions here, https://github.com/quguanni/kernel-archaeology/blob/main/scr...

This suggests that corporations are introducing significantly more bugs than independent developers. However, I have not done statistical testing on this nor have I recreated the numbers. If I had to speculate, I would assume that the analysis from the author was partly vibe-coded or they purposely left this analysis out due to fear of retaliation. Extending my speculation would also include that corporations are purposely introducing bugs out of malice such that there are backdoors available for them. The author mentions that there is no "corporate takeover" but perhaps there are more interesting conclusions to be found.

What about the complexity and type of the committed code?

Ya, a total guess on my part is the corporations are adding more things like complete drivers and kernel modules where individuals may be adding more smaller fixes.

You can feel IC fear of being roasted by linus in those numbers.
