Which files get the most commits? Which sections of each files get more than usual commits? eg which functions? Who wrote this particular function first? who subsequently? How many of those include expletives? Curious minds need to know. If I want to answer these earth shattering questions, could I just grab the entire git repo and go from there? is it that simple? is it text exportable without too much "other" scary?

You could. But I would recommend downloading it to a RAM disk to make generating that a bit faster. The which function sees the most use would likely take a bit of work to figure out.

I’d find a list of files that have the least changes more interesting (excluding text files et al.). And then check if the lack of activity is related to the stability of the code, lack of use or its complexity.

Here is the top 20 files by the number of commits 12846 MAINTAINERS 4167 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c 3330 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h 2360 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c 2328 arch/arm/Kconfig 2118 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c 2079 sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c 2019 Makefile 2001 fs/btrfs/inode.c 1927 include/linux/sched.h 1903 net/core/dev.c 1888 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_reg.h 1824 arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile 1801 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c 1781 include/linux/fs.h 1763 arch/x86/Kconfig 1737 mm/page_alloc.c 1643 kernel/sched.c 1628 fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c It's quite interesting how present intel gpus are in the list, which probably tells something about the code on them...
