Hi. Thanks for working on this.
Your current methodology is fine, but I think it'll result in a few false positives and a lot of false negatives. If you could combine your current aggregation methods (looking mostly at what's documented on the wiki or tracked in JIRA) with a look at (sampled) Web requests, I think you'd get a much better picture of what's being used. There are likely some tools (like all of mine) that are getting hundreds or thousands of requests per day, but got missed from the current list entirely.
It may also make sense to look at which processes are running throughout a given day or week or month and to try to get an idea of what kind of database queries are being run by looking at MySQL query logs.
I agree that it's very impressive what you can find on wiki.toolserver.org and jira.toolserver.org, but I think you'll be even more impressed when you can see a truer picture of the beast that's been built. ;-)
