If you want to opt-in, just install this port: sudo port install mpstats This was originally developed during Google Summer of Code 2011. It is not widely used, though, and the web application has not been updated for years. The presentation of the statistics is still very basic. https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MacPortsStatisticsGSoC2011 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/StatisticsIdeas The main problem with both of these is that we got them started as GSoC projects, but afterwards nobody was interested in extending or even just maintaining them.
