No, it indicates that buildroot is a small project with limited amount of active developers (and luckily a lot of outside contributers).

We *WANT* to see the patches on the mailing list so they can get reviewed. We also don't want to require outsiders to learn git in order to contribute patches. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
