We had a past GSOC project that ended up with a decent start to a stats |
| 21 |
system. I know I had hoped for (and suggested) a survey system for it. |
| 22 |
A maintainer could put up a stabilization survey, or some other query |
| 23 |
about a pkg/version. The people interested could fill it out, the |
| 24 |
maintainer could get feedback. It would also give estimates of the |
| 25 |
number of people using the pkg/version (dpends on the number of people |
| 26 |
with stats enabled). |

There was even a dev that recently tried to get it deployed (again). I |
| 29 |
volunteered to help. But it never got the vm from it from infra. |

Infra is not set up to allow root access to a system for only certain |
| 31 |
systems/devs. So in order to maintain a system, you primarily have to |
| 32 |
be in the infra team. So, as a result, progress stalls, dies out. |
