And what is the use of analizing the history of a project in such 
detail? The ChangeLog is not enough?

Properly analyze? You mean using a method even stupidier than counting 
lines of code[1] (Ohloh counts commits) to assess the quality of a project?

With such method, a project written by a legion of monkeys can easily 
rank higher than any masterpiece of software.

OTOH, this could explain where all the cluelessness of distros comes from.
