I think it would help to ask what the goals of the statistics are? The
statistics are presumably used to answer some questions. What are those
questions?

Having a user agent defined in the clients connecting PyPI could also allow to make statistics on the usage of such tools (xx% of all the downloads on pypi.python.org are made by buildout, by the distutils2 index crawler, by pip etc.)

I'm +1 on having CI tools using specific HTTP headers in order to avoid using those information as "user downloads". We can probably store this information in a different place and display clearly what the number of downloads for CI tools is on pypi.py.org
