While download statistics might not be a good system, I do concur that MacPorts 
very much would benefit from having a "discovery" mechanism by which users find 
out about useful ports.  Searching is nice, but it's not discovery.  Some kind 
of "top ports" list (however implemented) would be useful, imho.

I do like the idea of opt-inable call-home reporting about which ports are 
installed.  Even if a minority opts-in, it would be useful.  Ubuntu does a 
similar thing IIRC.  For non-end-users, it would also inform port maintainers 
about how many people depend on their work.
