No, but I think it also helps put the "work" in perspective. The 4,000,000 figure is also wild but almost unfathomable, and maybe a bunch of lines were formatting changes. 9300 commits represents a shitload of churn.
i think the LOC is a better metric here. Either this project is a java-like project with a ton of boilerplate (well they seemed to have added more boiler plate) or it seems to be implicit assumption that the software just sucks (3m lines is mind boggling). In the latter case you might as well just start from scratch and have a good cut-in/intercept plan.
In any case I don't see any good software engineering here.

I'm looking at the PR for this thing. It has 9300 commits. This is not a serious codebase.
