I'm okay with sending out metrics, but they need to have a purpose.
Basically, what do we do with these metrics and what goal do they drive?

When we did GNOME summaries, we also tried to do some interpretation and
some observations as part of the metrics.  Otherwise, they get sent out and
they get wholly ignored as noise.  I don't want people people taking the
trouble information.

Some things to think about.  Again, I'm happy to mentor people who are
interested in doing this as I've been thinking about this for awhile at
least from an onboarding perspective.
