Yes, it would...

No idea, I'm not involved with the github/lab/etc end of things.

The above looks good: a few at a time. Maybe as many as 100 per weekly
update. I mean I've pushed 100 commits in a week lots of times without
swamping anything... You said 2777 commits, that'll take 28 weeks or 7
months. Possibly the next Slackware alpha/beta/RC will happen within
those 7 months, or possibly not (I lean toward the latter, but I'm a
congenital pessimist).
