What the weekly stats really ought to tally up is the readers/postings

My strong suspicion would be that there is strong negative correlation
between frequency of posts and actual readers of those posts...
Also, I suspect that many people do not realize that a significant
chunk of IETF contributers are no longer subscribed to the ietf list
due to signal to noise ratio concerns...
This list has 2155 subscribers.
Rough, quick count numbers:
56 sent messages week ending 31 May
58 week ending 24 May
87 week ending 3 May
56 week ending 5 April
82 Week ending 8 March
28 week ending 8 Feb
68 week ending 11 Jan
Average: 62 or 3% on the list
Quick glance looks like same people most of the time sending messages
Would be interesting to just report on Last Call mail. You might find
justification
there by itself to create a Last-Call list.
