Mean or median?
I recall talk a while back about someone else (Quim, I think?) doing this

seem to have been abandoned by their author and so on, which led to
discussions of whether we should go around abandoning patches that have
been -1ed for a long time, etc. Without proper consideration of those sorts
of issues, the statistics don't seem particularly useful.
