One possible solution could be to only show the download statistics to
puredata.info members (= people who upload to Deken)

Yes, agree, that's gross.
Well, it is, but it looks like it's also a narrow perspective that
doesn't necessarily dominates. I'll just say, I'd love to have access
to the same statistics for my packages just so I get a good clear data
on what's going on. Like, are people in China using my stuff? That's
cool, maybe I'll try and connect with them. You know, whatever... Many
libraries are from the extended libraries, are people still relying on
them to keep some old patches alive? Are people being able to follow
and adopt new stuff?
We got a good picture on "all externals", but I bet developers would
like to see what's really the case for specific packages... and that
is a concern that comes before comparing between each other to see
"who wins the most number of likes content".
cheers
