What is interesting about these numbers, is they clearly show a lot of people (57 authors) took the time to create a small pull request, which goes to show how popular the project is.
I think part of the challenge looking at these metrics is the project versus repo structure. For instance, contributions to security are included in the elasticsearch repo but not in the core OpenSearch repo e.g. https://github.com/opensearch-project/security/graphs/contri...
But I still think having a bunch of folks contribute isn't trivial and worth highlighting (57 is a ton for many projects) and anytime I see a truly OSS project at this scale I think it's a good thing.

For my tool, I can analyze any combination of repositories so getting the bigger picture isn't challenging. Out of curiosity, I decided to index all the opensearch repos which will take a few hours to index and I'll update this post if I can or just reply to it when the other repos have been indexed.
