And how exactly do you plan to make sure everybody has that hook 
installed?

Also, it would be a major hassle, just for the benefits of statistics 
(which, funnily enough, not everybody cares about).

But we are not truly distributed.  Our community is small enough, and our 
maintainer good enough, that we do have a single upstream essentially.  We 
do not even have lieutenants through which new developers could come (and 
therefore would be old developers once they hit master).
