## [Who Writes the Bugs? A Deeper Look at 125,000 Kernel Vulnerabilities](/blog/kernel-bugs-part2)

*January 23, 2026 · By Jenny Guanni Qu*

Part 2 of our kernel vulnerability analysis. Weekend commits are 8% less likely to introduce vulnerabilities, but take 45% longer to fix. 117 super-reviewers catch bugs 47% faster than average.

## [Kernel bugs hide for 2 years on average. Some hide for 20.](/blog/kernel-bugs)
