Yes, that would, though we can probably just as easily ID them by
hostname. :-)

My primary hope at this point is that we can at least combine logging
information and come up with a single consistent format for it.

Since I haven't out and out made a proposal on this format yet, here's
my shot at it:

Each cooperating hub site would scan its logs once every 24 hours and
spit out a single email message to freebsd-stats@freebsd.org containing
a record like this:

<ftp-summary>
<from>FTP mirror name</from>
<date>date information</date>
<releases>
 <item name="relname" count="count">
 ...
</releases>
</ftp-summary>

Where the number of entries in <releases>..</releases> is somewhat
variable depending on what's on the mirror sites.
