As there as been diverse feedback and no conclusion, I would like 
try to revive this discussion - preferably on Github [1].
To argue against some of the posts here, a short summary of the 
Github discussion:

1) There's _no_ performance impact - everything is down lazily 
after the page was loaded (see Github for an detailed description)
2) The clutter isn't visible too most users anyhow as the 
contributer's list is shown at the bottom of the page
3) It currently would require a lot of hard-to-main ddoc hacks to 
due this at compile-time (see Github)

If you have better ideas how we could incorporate such 
statistics, let me know :)
