Sage Ross suggested in todays IRC office hours that it would be
interesting to look at anon members of our community , and I hadn't

Are you sure these are not accounted for in stats.wm.org?

A consideration with these is how often do they become a named
account, and therefore would be counted twice if we simply add
accounts+anons.
