The "health" of libraries should be reflected on the website since that will affect the new or returning user experience. I'm not sure how we want to reflect it so some experimentation is probably needed. The release report is pretty rough since it is the first version and we will continue to iterate on it.
The usual practice to indicate activity in a project is to post stats for a release in the form of "X lines added, Y lines removed". This form is more relevant than the number of commits as it better correlates with the amount of changes. That said, "no changes" does not mean "dead project", so I'm not sure what should be inferred from these stats. IMO, they can only serve to satisfy curiosity. It would be a disservice to libraries if the users take these stats more seriously than this.
