Is there someone who actually maintains that target? Without it,
I don't think that things will improve in the future.

Also, numbers alone can be quite misleading. I would try determining
the list of tests that started failing, and the type of failure
they indicate. Sometimes, the situation is as dire as the numbers
indicate, and sometimes, we get huge numbers due to one error
cascading into zillion ones.
