That's an interesting phenomenon that pops up with both g-cpan and 
crossdev, because they generate new ebuilds. I don't know how crossdev 
works in detail, but g-cpan will create ebuilds in the first overlay in 
PORTAGE_OVERLAYS -- if that is a public overlay, the stats client will 
report them. If it has a private or no repo_name, the stats client will 
not do that. I would assume crossdev generared the ebuilds in a private 
overlay?
