We had a past GSOC project that ended up with a decent start to a stats
system.  I know I had hoped for (and suggested) a survey system for it.
A maintainer could put up a stabilization survey, or some other query
about a pkg/version.  The people interested could fill it out, the
maintainer could get feedback.  It would also give estimates of the
number of people using the pkg/version (dpends on the number of people
with stats enabled).

There was even a dev that recently tried to get it deployed (again).  I
volunteered to help.  But it never got the vm from it from infra.
Infra is not set up to allow root access to a system for only certain
systems/devs.  So in order to maintain a system, you primarily have to
be in the infra team.  So, as a result, progress stalls, dies out.

OK, looks the all cast votes were for Zac.

So, by unanimous decision, I hereby declare Zac as our new project lead.

Congrats Zac.

 Friends,

 It's that time of year. We're having a leader election again, as
 well as a general development meeting. The agenda will be updated
 in more detail at:
