At the conclusion of the 5.17 development cycle, 13038 non-merge
changesets had found their way into the mainline repository. That is a
lower level of activity than was seen for 5.16 (14,190 changesets) but well
above 5.15 (12,337). In other words, this was a fairly typical kernel
release. That is true in terms of where the work that made up the release
came from as well.
