Would you like me to do it? I am rather active on the Ubuntu and
Kubuntu lists. I have no problem taking responsibility for those lists
every year, and you keep up the good work with Debian. What do you
say?

Ah, handy!

I managed to miss this on here, so I'll await its appearance on the
dark side.

Out of curiosity I extracted unique email address from ubuntu-users.mbox
available from their archive site. The archive starts 15 Sep 2004, and I
found 10,809 unique address give or take a few my patterns missed.

I'm sure their current subscription is not that high, and I was not able
to find a mbox for debian-user ( a good thing ) to see what debian had
over the same time period for comparison.

As you say, a good thing ;) Here's a harvester to go through an mbox
file and print out all the 'froms' found (requires Mail::MboxParser -
install libmail-mboxparser-perl):

#! /usr/bin/perl -w

# usage: 'harvester.pl mbox'
# prints all values of 'from' lines in 'mbox'
# to do useful things with this, you'll probably want to pipe the output
# through sort, and sometimes uniq, e.g.:
# 'harvester.pl mbox | sort | uniq | wc -l' - count the number of unique
# addresses found (not entirely accurate, since there can be multiple
# equivalent variations of the same address

use Mail::MboxParser;

my $parseropts = {
enable_cache => 1,
enable_grep => 1,
cache_file_name => '/tmp/harvester-cache-file',
};

my $mb = Mail::MboxParser->new(shift, decode => 'ALL', parseropts => $parseropts);
while (my $msg = $mb->next_message) {print $msg->header->{from}, "\n"}
