summary

Outlines concrete milestones from initial git init through ~1,000 commits: start with README, license and CONTRIBUTING, hit 200 commits when you ship first usable release and minimize time-to-first-hello-world, reach 400 commits with code reviews, benchmarks and external contributors, hit 600 commits adopting semantic versioning and binaries in production, face breaking rewrites (raft rewrite for etcd) that trade migration pain for stability and show measured wins like 30x faster in some queries; adopt a two-week cadence and stable/master branch flow.
