We observe that organizational structure metrics are significantly better predictors for identifying failure-prone binaries in terms of precision, and recall compared to models built using code churn, code complexity, code coverage, code dependencies, and pre-release defect measures. (Link is to abstract page, quote is from the PDF linked to from there, chart below is from the paper as well) Further research needs to be carried out to see if this generalizes beyond the Windows Vista team. Needless to say, it's not a license to write crapcode, as those metrics are still good predictors of software ...

A great development team is an asset that gains you competitive advantage in the marketplace. They churn out features quicker than other teams, with higher quality code that contains fewer defects. You give them project after project and they routinely meet or exceed the deadline. They're well known for hitting on all cylinders often enough to pull off seemingly miraculous feats of software engineering. All is right in your world. It's relieving to know you have a team you can trust, and your team members take pride in knowing that you believe so highly in their skills that you rely ...
