If, as you say there is a "dramatical lowering of common development rate"
then we would expect the rate at which changes are committed to the
repository to be declining. Correct?

OK. Here's some raw data.

I've used "git log --no-notes --date=short" to generate a list of all
the commits
in simgear, flightgear and fgdata since the project began in 1997.

I've drawn some graphs of
- the number of commits per month,
- 6 month moving averages,
- the number of commits per year.

An OpenOffice spreadsheet of the data and graphs is available here:

The 6 month moving average is available here:

As you can see, FG development has been quite variable over time (generally
a lot of development in the northern hemisphere winter), but core development
has been fairly constant since the start of the project. There is absolutely no
evidence whatsoever to back your theory that development is in decline and the
project is in trouble.
