To be clear: the only stats column currently in the staging
environment shows exactly this. Changes 4 and 5 are *not* visible in
columns on the commitfest page, that info is currently only visible on
the patch details page. (For context for others: during the FOSDEM
meeting 4 was a column on the commitfest page, but I reverted that
after the feedback there)

So, I guess clutter wise the current staging is acceptable to you.

Statistics for each patch would definitely be nice. Not trivial to add
though, because it would need cfbot to get those statistics for each
patch. I created a github issue for this idea to track it[1]

My main idea behind this is to allow people to easily find some small
patchsets, for when they have ~30 minutes to review something. Or for
new contributors to find something to review without getting
overwhelmed.
