I suspect those numbers are already (mostly) there, as most users of the
bindings likely don't download and compile GDAL themselves - they get a
package from their language's favourite package manager. Earlier in the
thread, Tamas was able to reel off some Nuget package manager numbers for
the C# bindings. One could do the same in Python via Conda or PyPI for
"gdal" / "rasterio" / "fiona", in R via <the R package manager> for rgdal,
and so on.
