I do not know which between 50 or 200 is more appropriate, but I
think these are more realistic threshold.  FWIW, I made the first
review comment that pointed out that the bar set by Emily's document
was too low to cross.  The "2 vs 5" you are reacting to was merely
to point out that commit count would be higher than equivalent topic
count and without bringing "2 is too low" topic again, which I
already gave an input to.
