This topic has come up in a dsource forum:

Brad, the guy who runs Dsource, has been planning on adding some project activity
statistics, but he works on Dsource in his free time, and I guess he hasn't had
enough time to get it worked out.

In the meantime, volunteers could maintain a wiki page (at dsource or wiki4d or
elsewhere) to provide some of this information, but I'm not sure how urgent the
issue is.
