I disagree.  We can go some way toward at least establishing a lower
bound on the number of GNOME users, and watch it climb over time ;-)

This has already been discussed.  Again, have you read the background

Notwithstanding that, how will those data enable us to estimate the
number of GNOME users worldwide?  If we can do that already, I want to
know about it, otherwise I am wasting my time (and that of others) here.
