Bugzilla usage worldwide
This page lists the version running on some well known Bugzilla installations, or on installations with a lot of bugs (typically more than 10’000 bugs). It also lists the approximate number of bugs contained in the DB. Some installations, such as Ghostscript and kernel.org, appear to have whole ranges of missing bug IDs. This may lead to some incorrectly reported bug numbers. Note that there are probably some other large Bugzilla installations which I don’t know about, and so are not listed below.
A bold green version means that the installation is running the most recent release for the given branch.
A green version means that the installation is almost running the most recent release for the given branch.
A red version means that the installation is running a release which recently reached EOL.
A bold red version means that the installation is running a really old and unsupported release, probably vulnerable to several security problems.

Songbird, still on 3.0.9 :/
Did you try to help POTI on updating ?
I didn’t, no.
Mozdev https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/ now: 3.0.9; 2010: I don’t know; bugs: I created bug 23448 on Nov.7
Added. Thanks!
The bug count for Ghostscript’s Bugzilla seemed very high, so I went over there and looked. The number is wrong. They didn’t start at 1. This URL says there are 6231 bugs:

Yes, I know. That’s what I said in the article: "Some installations, such as Ghostscript and kernel.org, appear to have whole ranges of missing bug IDs."
There is also bugzilla.maptools.org running 3.2 with about 2360 tickets.
FYI, GNOME Bugzilla also has a bunch of bug IDs missing in the range of 272654-299999 due to importing bugzilla.ximian.com around 2005.
Yeah, I know that some installations have missing bug numbers, but the numbers I list here are not supposed to be accurate, but only to give an idea on the number of bugs.
