'There is a view that because open source software is subject to review by many eyes, all the bugs will be ironed out of it. This is a myth.' -- source: https://opensource.com/article/17/10/many-eyes Even if a project has many contributors, you will get a lot of contributors in areas that are easy to contribute in (eg spelling, expanding documentation, simple additions) and hardly anyone in the difficult areas. The less contributors in an area, the less likely they will overlap and therefore the less code review will happen.
