Not sure where to respond since it covers Trello, Etherpad, Email,
IRC, and now bugzilla. Responding in bugzilla, since this is at least
a public medium that cannot be changed.

Several people want this. Even I want it :-)
It would be helpful for so many things. Even for "per page" pageviews too.
It seems the to-be-written XAnalytics extension would be the place to
do it [1].

Feasible: Yes.
Effort: Once the XAnalytics extension is there, ~4 man-days.
(Only a few hours of coding)

It would be possible to do the rewriting on the varnishes.
We try to do as little processing on the varnishes as possible, so I
would not want to parse out things there.
We could do in the ETL step,
But ETL is not there yet, and we have some tasks to do before we can
start implementing it.

But we should not track people without their consent. So getting their
consent is more important to me.

Feasible: No, as the “user consent issue” is to big right now.
Effort: Once the ETL step is there, ~2 man-days.
(Only a few hours of coding)

> * logged in flag

Since this information is (currently) sent only as Cookie (and not
as plain HTTP header), it would also need assistance of for example
the to-be-written XAnalytics extension. See above.
(We could do the rewriting on varnish, but as we try to do as little
as possible on the varnishes, this does not sound too thrilling)

(Note that this information is not sent to bits or upload, so it would
not allow to track media consumption per user.)

Feasible: Yes.
Effort: Once the XAnalytics extension is there, ~3 man-days.
(Only a few hours of coding)

---------------------------

(The etherpad also asks about format changes. But since this bug is
about adding fields, I guess format changes are out of scope for this
bug.)
