Display exact number of commits in hovercard in Contributors section in repository sidebar #4566

Often times, I am interested in knowing the number of commits the top contributors have on a particular repo to know the level of engagement / activity.
The repository sidebar has a contributors section which has hovercards for each contributor. However, the hovercard only displays the obvious Committed to this repository. ( For more recent contributors, it appends in the past [day|week|month] which is still not so useful ). It would be nice to display the exact number of commits the user has made to the repository. Something along the lines of Committed <x> commits to this repository and if the contributions are recent, append latest in the past [day|week|month].
There is a HovercardContext interface for the graphQL API. But I have not tried it to see if that is what is used to manipulate the hovercard though.
Would this be a useful feature?
