We have a need, we use a tool. To fulfil the need with the tool we
have to misuse the tool. Consequently the tool is too limited for our
usecase.
There are several hacks around that - including merge commits with
explanations and only ever looking at merge commits (hiding all
non-merges) - and that these hacks are used by others shows that we
aren’t the only ones with these needs, but git offers no clean
solution.
Sadly there also isn’t a clean way forward: Git users tend to be
pretty defensive of their tool, and as such I expect that moving to a
different tool would hurt more than it would help. So we’re stuck with
the hacks.

Do you run a free software community with vastly differing amount of
worktime per week?
We cannot expect people to be able to review every 4 days. This is a
reality we cannot change without having more paid
developers. Different from a company, we have to structure our
workflow in a way which keeps review from becoming a bottleneck while
ensuring that all code is reviewed.
Best wishes,
