Hmm, generally I'm (and _many_ others) are against this type of
sending information about which programs you use and such. Statistics
of which packages people use we can probably get from the ftp-server
(to see which files are most requested).

I think however that we should create a script (if there isn't one
already) that helps a user to bugreport. Perhaps something like:

1) Which package do you have problem with
2) Describe the problem
3) The program creates a list of all installed packages and add it.
4) Mail the bugreport to gentoo-dev.

Or something like that
