The Rust graph is inaccurate since Rust uses FIXME instead of TODO. Almost all of the usage of "TODO" in rustc relates to the todo!() macro, usually to stub out parts of tests.

Yeah you get vastly different numbers if you grep for FIXME (instead of the hundred or so todo's):

    $ rg FIXME compiler | wc -l
    1036
    $ rg FIXME | wc -l
    18656
