How many times has my package, and it's updates been downloaded ?
ie am I really just doing this for myself, or are my fellow Fedorians 
benefiting from my work {and it takes me weeks to get even a basic 
package ready for the review process, so I understand how much work}  ?

This could at least be tracked on the fedoraproject managed sites, as 
raw down-load hits. Would miss the packages that are included in live 
cd's and within download media.

Perhaps an advance on the mirror-manager tracker that allows a mirror to 
upload download hit counts for each rpm file for the day/week/month etc ?

Also, number of available and or installed packages that use my package 
as a requires ?

smolt for packages ? opt-in, no-ip tracking possible. I guess that is 
what redhat network etc would have been doing in "helping us track our 
system's updatedness" in late rhl / early fedora times.

And, many thanks to Brandon for the work done in making some php 
packages like json available - this made it a lot easier for me to get 
eg sugar crm demo going for work.

Cheers,
