A frantic commit free for all isn't necessarily better. I count nine different developers committing to the project's master branch in a single day. That has tradeoffs too.
Comparing commits is mostly pointless anyway. Some people commit very often any little change (like some indentation change) while others commit only when a feature is done.
Compare releases and features.
Gitea requires peer review for pull requests, a healthy process that promotes quality. Cogs is managed exclusively by its BDFL.
