I'm intrigued to see that Google has quantified that new code is generally buggier and less secure than code that has existed in your codebase for longer:

Difftastic is written in Rust, so I was surprised to get a user report of a segfault. After some investigation, it turns out that it's a segfault in git itself, which has existed since 2014! https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAFXAjY7XcL1APhLRXU8TO96z=f7957f2ieK56dHVsXUay55vpg@mail.gmail.com/T/#u (Upstream has already kindly written a patch.)
