For download counts, you have to go analyze the log files (and, of course,
we're only counting downloads from daedalus -- not from mirrors).  Tomcat
runs in the 50k-100k downloads per month range -- having up to date stats
would be quite nice.

For mailing lists, the following are subscription counts as of this
morning to the Jakarta-based mailing lists:
