Hi team,

The Duke researchers working on the Fedora community survey (on which
you might recall Greg DeKoenigsberg consulted) have sent me a list of
some additional information that will help them in their continued
work analyzing the survey results.  Basically, they need someone to
run a few SQL queries via JSON:

(1) The count of unique people, determined by full names and/or email
addresses, active in at least one mailing list/group, which would
provide an estimate of the number of active people in the Fedora
Accounts System.  The count won't include actual names or addresses.

(2) The distribution of mailing lists/groups per person (e.g., X
people are in 1 mailing list/group, Y people are in 2 mailing
lists/groups, Z people in a 3 mailing lists/groups, etc), which would
provide an estimate of how many mailing lists/groups active people are
typically part of in the Fedora Accounts System.  Again, these counts
won't include actual names or addresses

In addition, there are some counts they need for specific lists/groups
based on actual responses, and I can work with someone from
Infrastructure to get those.

Is there anyone who could assist me in pulling these numbers?  We can
do this after Fedora 13 GA, if people are hosed with workload right
now.  The researchers are aware people are always very busy around
release time.
