A first proposal to stir your pros and cons:
I have added feasibility status for each data entry. Now all is full of red exclamation marks but hopefully the green check marks will find their way soon.

There are basically three types of problems:
* Data exists, but how to retrieve it from Gerrit? Your help here is crucial. Examples: number of users, most recent activity, etc.
* Data exists, but how to retrieve it from the web server? And are we ok with doing this? This refers to the location of the contributors. Since we are not asking for this data or processing at all, the IP origin might be an alternative. Knowing where we are is useful, but what is the best way to retrieve this data?
* We are not processing the data. Even if it exists, it is somewhere else, manually entered, etc. Examples: WMF employees or hobbyists, stable or experimental projects... Here the best help is to push a decision on the relevance of these trends. Not so important, can be left for later? Very important and we need to change something in order to gather and process this data?
