I suspect those numbers are already (mostly) there, as most users of the bindings likely don't download and compile GDAL themselves - they get a package from their language's favourite package manager. Earlier in the thread, Tamas was able to reel off some Nuget package manager numbers for the C# bindings. One could do the same in Python via Conda or PyPI for "gdal" / "rasterio" / "fiona", in R via <the R package manager> for rgdal, and so on.
