Thanks for that!

A quick glance at the various starts (see also below) shows me more then 
10 names for sure.
Clear is that less work on Base is done, than for example on Calc and 
general code. And clear is too that - although there were positive 
figures to be show with our first anniversary:  more developers and 
other people doing work are very much welcome.

Did you also try a search with 'dbacces' and 'connectivity'?

Apart from the question how much on which level is being done on Base, I 
would expect that the picture for Impress/Draw would not be so much 
different. It is my impression that at the moment, a really lot of work 
is done on Calc and general code improvements.

I think you mean product 'LibreOffice' and Component 'Database'? (There 
is no keyword 'Database', and  'Database' in the summary line gives 
little results and I guess no different ones.)

So:
- LibreOffice+ DataBase shows 88 Unconfirmed/New/Assigned.
No idea how much dups are among that. Or from when the issues origins 
(old or new).
- LibreOffice+ DataBase shows 11 Fixed.
- There are about 25 test issues (from the Bug report assistant) and 
enother bunch Dups, Invalid, WorksForMe

Git and Bugzilla show there is activity, and that bug are fixed. But 
more contribution indeed are welcome.

Furthermore I would really appreciate if all try to work and communicate 
precise, to prevent that others jump to noisy conclusions too fast.

Thanks & kind regards,
