I fiddled a bit with a new version of Special:Statistics. It can solve
bug 5619 [0].
Please see the screenshot [1] from my local wiki.
Two points to clarify:
1. Is action=raw [2] still needed? The API do the same job [3]. If the
answer is no, should I depreciate it with an error message and link to
the API or remove it in total?
2. At the moment we have the numbers of sysops in the list. Should we
expand the list to all existing usergroups?

Any suggestions/objections?
