[development] Module to Track RSS Subscribers

[Nick Lewis]

Hi folks, I'm in the early stages of building a set of scripts that 
parse out info about hits to a site's RSS feed. The goal is to 
trasmogrify what is now only viewable as thousands of anonymous hits to 
node/feed to a list of total hits to node/feed by ip address. My hope is 
that this will be the foundation for a module/feature that gives me a 
ballpark idea of how many RSS subscribers I actually have.

Anyone working on something similar?
Or should I consider building this as a new feature to submit for review 
in the statistics.module?
Finally, the statistics.module dropped a lot of functionality that would 
have allowed this anyway after the port to 4.6 -- was there a good 
reason for this?

Best,
Nick Lewis
