I don't know how they gather the stats for it... but the "developer karma" is
kinda a cool idea (especially for large OSI projects).  I also like the MRTG
style graphing of activity by user/module/etc, and line/file volume by 
user/module.

They aren't extremely useful i guess... but entertaining bells and whistles. =)

I think the mrtg graphs would be better as popups or separate pages so they
could be avoided in normal user interaction.

I'm not sure i like the big summary page layout at the top of a module... too
spread out for my tastes.  But i can see there being a need to collect all
log-entries to the top like that, especially if commit lists are not 
implemented
on a project.

I'm not sure i understand what it is they are referring to as a "change set". 
Are they just talking about a branch, or something more elaborate?

I'll play with it some more and see what i find.

Ohhhh almost forgot!  The Search feature is handy!
