I think this is a good approach. Of course, we should present this in a
positive tone in NEWS -- something like this:
You can now participate in the collection of various "package usage
statistics" that will tell the emacs development team which Lisp
packages are actually used. [add some blurb about privacy etc.]
To participate, you need to configure the smtpmail-default-mail-server
variable and then set the enable-emacs-statistics-mails variable to t.
