Also keep in mind that it is used by many people to track feature-requests (long and short-term, planned and wishlist), as well as bugs, so some growth is both inevitable and desired. (I believe this is what James is saying)
Much agreed. Phabricator is used to keep track of many other things besides bugs, in our team we keep our whole backlog there thus it is expected to grow at a much faster rate than a bug list would. A backlog is a repository of ideas and some of those are clearly defined tasks but not others.
It could be more interesting, although probably on the team level rather than globally, is the number of open tasks for a given priority. If, for example, the number of tasks with normal priority is growing continuously, that does signal some sort of problem with the planning.
