However, the point of the maintainers block isn't necessarily to provide

Project statistics are useful to us but most users dont care about them.
Are you basing that statement on anything or is that just your speculation?
I'm not sure they're useful as presented. They're interesting for
sure, but not informative as-is.
Examples:
http://drupal.org/project/paging - last commit from Gurpartap: 2 weeks
ago. Next maintainer (Darren): 48 weeks ago. Last D5 recommended
release was in January.
http://drupal.org/project/panels - last commit (now) by merlin, next
by Sun: 11 weeks ago. Last D5 recommended release was Aug 2008.
Well, it's pretty accurate -- Panels for D5 is actually very poorly
maintained at this point. Paging may actually be maintained and simply
not need much attention because it's very small and focused. It does one
thing, does it well, etc.
