Do we have an idea of how many people read Git Rev News?

I think it could be interesting to have an estimate of how many people, and if possible too what kind of people, read Git Rev News each month, for a number of reasons:

• The trend over the months and years could be some kind of long term feedback.
• If we see that some months more people read it, maybe it could give an idea about which kind of content is preferred.
• If it looks like people reading it could be interested in participating in Git development, maybe we could add content to help them or encourage them.
• If it looks like people reading it could be interested in participating in Git Rev News, maybe we could take advantage of that too.

So can we have a an idea of the number of views of the different pages on https://git.github.io/? Can we have the number of subscribers to the email edition of the newsletter?

@jnareb, @mjaix, @sivaraam, @stepnem what do you think about this?

Getting analytics on our reader base would indeed be a beneficial thing. I'm unsure if we could get historical data, though. We would need to add some analytics solution (hopefully we can setup some FOSS one).

Or if I'm missing anything about existing data, kindly let me know.
