I'm not sure what the goal is (or whose goal it is), but you can always 
get these statistics easily from vanity. E.g. picking a random package 
seems to match your results, and totals them for each package FWIW:


  aclark at Alexs-MacBook-Pro:~/Developer/aclark/resume/ > vanity pydstat
  pydstat-1.0.0.tar.gz     2012-08-15    2,216
  pydstat-1.0.1.tar.gz     2012-08-23    4,367
  --------------------------------------------
  pydstat has been downloaded 6,583 times!
