I like the first one, but I think the second needs to be tweaked a bit. If you
run LilyPond on a PDF file on accident, I find that 1 time out of 3 it crashes.
This may be the same for mp3 files, jpg files, etc. The second rule could be
reformatted to read "any segfault on an input file that users claim to be a .ly
file."
I like this classification scheme, but even if it were fixed, it would not
solve the issue you address in the preface to this GOP - namely, the small
number of developers with respect to the large number of bugs. If possible,
I'd like to have a GOP at a later date on developer recruitment: I think that
it is entirely possible to actively bring on new people and to try to get the
tracker back down to 60ish issues.
