I think I'd prefer a more self-descriptive name than "Luwak", which is just
a product name that was decided a while ago.

I kind of like "search-alerts". "query-alerts" sounds like alerting on
query metrics, but IMO "search-alerts" doesn't come with the same baggage.

Luwak is fine though if everyone agrees on that.

I don't want to bikeshed here, but I'm not sure this is a fair
assessment of what happened with the analytics module.
Sure there wasn't a ton of development, but in general it was feature rich
and had very little feature requests.
It was removed in 10, because a lack of user usage, not because it was
"abandoned" IMO. If there were requests from users
to keep it or improve it, then it would be a much different story. The
whole "thrown over the wall" comment is fair, but
not particularly relevant to this PR, which is being worked on in public.

I think this is certainly something that can start in the sandbox and move
into the main repo once it's clear that there is interest from
multiple committers and community members in using and maintaining it.
