Issues are not bugs just because bugs happen to be issues. Depending on development workflow every contribution might be made as a pull request and therefore show up as an issue. Also most projects tend to underreport issues, in that a lot of bugs are fixed or features implemented without creating an issue.
You can easily achieve a high number of issues compared to other projects, just due to workflow and by using issues heavily to document what you are doing.
What would be concerning is a large number of old open issues or if the number of opened issue is significantly larger than the number of issues being closed.
