In my opinion is not just a matter of PRs but of projects. A 
practical example related to SAoC:

1. vibe-http and HTTP/2: I opened around 15 PRs of variable 
length. My project required writing a consistent amount of code, 
so quite often I had to discuss and then replicate / split / 
rebase my changes. For this reason, most of my work was done 
through Github.

2. Concurrent GC: FraMecca's work consisted in writing less than 
300 lines of code, but required a lot of debugging and many 
exchanges with his mentor, mainly using emails. All of his work 
is going to end with one (or possibly two) PRs to DRuntime.

If one had to compare our work following the approach of the 
Rocket community, there would be a huge gap between us two, even 
though we worked a similar amount of time and both provided 
hopefully valid results.
