Hate to bring it up, but 10,000 commits in less than 6 months is a lot. Is AI a major contribute here?

Is AI use for accelerated development of a beloved tool like DuckDB enough to quiet lingering doubters?

If you merge PRs that have commit mesages like this, it's easy to arrive at 10000 commits in 6 months:

    rename to NodePointer instead
    format
    Revert "format"
    Revert "rename to NodePointer instead"
    rename to OptionalNodePtr
    woops
    update comment
    slot renames
    more renames

Source: https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/pull/23605

If every Ctrl+S is a commit, it'll go up fast.

"woops"!

They seem to squash PRs using the pr description as commit message. So this sounds like a good approach to me.
