If you would, it might be useful to run your utility for the spf-help list
(don't know if your subscribed there or not).  No one is publishing posting
stats for that list.  There are a number of us who try to answer everyone's
questions and your support effeciency metric would probably be relevant.
Also, if answering questions on spf-help started getting a person's name on
a top posters list, that might incentivize more people to help answer
questions....

I'm a bit sceptic here. I've seldom seen such a stats page result in
more quality (which is what we need on spf-help), but only in more
quantity. Granted, I've only done these kinds of stats on less serious
lists, irc channels, fido mail groups, .. It ususally resulted in the
so-called 'stat-posting' where people would squirt out mail just to get
at number 1.
