Apache security vulnerabilities

I'm astonished at the number of security vulnerabilities available for Apache.

Why does it have so many security problems compared to other packages ? I've heard about the most popular packages having more exploits announced but that is still a high number.

http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_20.html

Can someone shed some light on this ?

I don't really see that it has a higher count of security holes than any other package.

It means it's well maintained (usually) if patches and new versions are being released frequently and as you mention it is the most popular web server on the Internet so the developers keeping it patched is very important.
