It is good that you read the Emacs Devel mailing list as to understand
how RMS contributes these days.

How I see it is that RMS has created quite well organized system where
contributors are welcome as it is free software and where the project
develops itself by good will and contributions of so many helpful
people.

So far until now it is well run organization that more or less police
itself, it is self-working, self-functioning organization developing
Emacs more and more.

Every planner of any organization or a project should be proud to
achieve the state where planner is free and organization continues as
envisioned.

RMS's personal commits compared to the above don't matter much. What
matters is that Emacs lives, is being developed and that there are
many authors and contributors.
