Not that I know of. The only statistics we have is what repo people are
looking for and not what they are looking for in a repo.
Just to continue down this path for a moment, what are the ways we can
track or get ideas of what is important to EPEL users? If we could
improve what we have already, how would we do so? (Let's pretend for a
moment that we can get a developer to help build and maintain something
... what would we have that person do?)
