Hello Emilian,
In the past it was possible through Apache to know number of downloads.
With mirrors it appears we lost this precious (IMO) info.

What you propose is a good idea but there are many issues:
- privacy if we use something like GA
- all users behind enterprise proxies or with a bad network
- plus amount of work

For now we use:
- number of issues reported
- questions on SO and mailing lists

IMO, we should concentrate our efforts on:
- http2 support
- fix on undo/redo . With your experience of Netbeans , would you have an
idea for that missing and always requested feature
- fix caching of resources in already cached resources

Thanks for your recent works !
Regards
