Description
Users have requested the ability to get statistics on how often branches hosted on Launchpad are accessed. Such numbers would be useful to determine the popularity of their project and to get an idea of their installed base. Numbers should be available on an individual branch basis and summary information for collections of branches (products, releases, etc.).

Re: Provide statistics on access to hosted branches
We'd first need to log access to branches. I've got some thoughts on how to do this, but no time to write the code. If you're interested in writing the code, let me know, and I'll help as much as I can.

If you could summarize the thoughts you have about this into this bug
report, we will see if we can allocate someone to help you with coding
this.

- We already have some logging code in lp.codehosting.sshserver.accesslog.
- Extend this API to have new events for reading from a branch and
writing to a branch. - In the bzr lp-serve plugin, emit an event the first time a branch
is read from and the first time a branch is written to - Do not emit log events then, but rather wait until the client has
disconnected and then emit one event, either read or write - The logged details should include the version of the Bazaar client
(if known) and the branch that was accessed - This code should be written at the level of the transport or lower,
so we can re-use between the lp-serve plugin and the sftp server
I'm fiddling around with some of this code now, extracting the code
from codehosting that isn't codehosting specific so that it can be
re-used in other Launchpad SSH servers. Don't let this block you if
you want to pursue further.
Hope this helps,

Re: Provide statistics on access to hosted branches
This is in our backlog. We can mentor someone to do it if they want to put the effort in, otherwise at this point theres no ETA for it happening.
