This is still a work in progress: happy to hear suggestions for additional sections / stats.

An interesting bit of data might be something like the top 10 top-level namespaces by year.
I thought something like this might be interesting, and have been trying to think about what exactly to do. For example I think it might be better to look at the "base namespace". So all dzil plugins would be listed in Dist::Zilla::Plugin, rather than Dist.
Maybe I'll try both and see which is most interesting. Or list both :-)
I've added the top-10 namespaces and the top-10 namespace top-levels, for new dists in 2013.
For each of the top 10 lists I'm thinking it might be interesting to add a +N/-N column, which shows the change from 2012's top 10.
And for all of them maybe click-through to some view which shows the top 10 for all years...?
