+I like an idea of a web page with statistics (but not so widely 
+gathering data) and I dislike the idea of pinpointing packagers who are 
+doing something wrong (like active on packaging, inactive on 
+discussions), if our infrastructure will be good on this, then there 
+won't be need to pinpoint people and their mistakes.. Of course I don't 
+count mindful abusing, trolling etc.
