OK, I looked into how the popcon graphs are implemented.
If nobody objects by 2018-02-21, I'll send you the output of
select p.day, package, p.vote, p.old, p.recent, p.no_files,
submissions
from popcon_package pp
join popcon p on (pp.id = p.package_id)
join popcon_day pd on (pd.day = p.day)
where in_debian order by p.day;
Which results in something like:
day | package | vote | old | recent | no_files | submissions
