We actually have a whole summer of code project that was on metrics from 
a few years ago.  I believe it worked as separate add-in for Mailman, 
but perhaps we should take a look at integrating it better into 
hyperkitty (or maybe postorius?) if people are unaware that it exists. 
I'd like to see that code integrated part of any new effort in this area.
