It feels like a mature software project is one where bugs require multiple commits to fix. You've hammered out the basic issues, so the remaining issues are often weird interactions between components.

It's weird that GitHub shows time since the last commit, but not time since the first commit. It's a nice way of seeing how mature a project is.

I've dabbled with 'conventional commits' for a personal project but I found they slowed me down. It's not always easy to categorise a commit as a fix, a chore etc. Sometimes refactorings also fix bugs. Do you use them? I can imagine a large, mature project benefitting more.
