Hi Vincent,
this is a long standing issue (we have been discussing this extensively
since Zuerich HF). I agree that knowing our user base is quite important
for the future of the project.
Of course we should not be obtrusive, and fully respect the privacy of
users, but I think something can be done on this, maybe along the lines
of Debian's popularity contest http://popcon.debian.org/
All the best.
